Are you an artist or digital designer? Download ArtRage 4 for free here.

Have you ever wanted to try oil painting but don’t have the gear and worry about the mess? Or maybe you’re an artist who works on a computer but don’t want to learn complex new tools in a digital environment. Or are you a digital artist who wants the feel of painting with real media?

ArtRage lets you explore a wide range of artistic styles in a single, easy-to-use program. It gives you a set of painting and drawing tools that simulate familiar, real-world media.
ArtRage includes 20 painting tools, each with a wide array of settings and presets, so you can create countless unique variations. The Oil Paint tool lets you smear and blend on the canvas; you control how much paint you apply and how wet it is, so every brushstroke interacts realistically—just like on a real canvas.

The Watercolor tool creates delicate blends and wet, layered strokes as you paint. With Paint Tube and Palette Knife you can work with rich, thick pigment and bold texture, and a range of other painting and sketching tools completes the artistic toolbox. It feels like working on a real canvas, with no need to understand digital processes to achieve realistic results.

Alongside its natural media tools, ArtRage offers features that make creating art easier. These include rulers and stencils, tracing and reference images, image symmetry, and many other systems that add a touch of digital convenience to your creative process without taking over your workspace.
