You'll find many tutorials at Corel for this. There are tons of ways to play with the Auto Painting as a start, and then tweak and re-paint areas that you want to detail or add things to. I even tried it on my own traditional paintings (photos or scans of them), and it was crazy fun to re-stylize them into more painterly styles. Choose from an impressive range of AI styles for photo painting, including Bold Watercolor, Colored Pencil, Colorful Dabs, Impressionist, Smooth Acrylic, Van Gogh, Watercolor Portrait, and Charcoal Drawing. You can convert your favorite photos into paintings using neural networking and the strength of Painter's brush engine. This is great for beginners not to feel discouraged if they're trying digital painting for the first time!Īrtificial Intelligence-based Photo Painting

Big brushes, dynamic speckles, you name it, I haven't suffered. Whatever I played with, even in relatively big canvases, wasn't laggy, which I find precious.

Performance has been enhanced and, even though I haven't tried previous Essentials versions, I can tell. The Dab Stencils and Dynamic Speckles are not new to me, since I come from Painter 2020, but if you didn't try them, they are delightful and bring so much creative potential to the program! Besides this, after playing with all available brushes, I'm confident there is a brush for each need, especially if you're new to digital painting. I've played with all the brushes and I loved most of them. In any case, there are tons of brush packs one can add by clicking on the top of the brush selector.
