Artists use computers for some purposes but Corel Painter is still a poor
substitute for oils and canvas.

Ever got to play with Kai Krauss's Painter? Has a selection of virtual
brushes of real world painter's brushes - sable, fan, oil, watercolor,
stencil even pinstriping brush which behave very much like the real
thing once you get the hang of it. AND you can do things with virtual
mediums which you CAN NOT do with real world mediums - like combining
the characteristics of water color and oil paint. Combine the many
features of this app with the fact that you can save things along the
way and UNDO mistakes - and there's much to be said for working with
digital mediums.
