The natural media software without ERASER!

by Fauve Software

I want to share the little story behind this application I discovered in 1996.
The year before, after about one month of summer work, I decided to burn out part of earned money in a Wacom ArtPad II, my very first graphic tablet.
Printed on the back of the package there was a tiny picture showing a Program Manager folder (Win 3.11) with the icons of various common graphic applications: Photoshop, Photostyler etc… But was the Fauve Matisse icon to spot my curiosity.

The physics of a bristle brush is complex: the stroke is the result of interaction between brush geometry, painting surface, pigment properties among the others.

A small review of Affinity Designer

by Paolo Limoncelli on 27 December 2014, no comments

I’ve been starting a collaboration with Serif for the Affinity product line since October. The first application released has been Affinity Designer, and I can say fearlessly that it is the best combination of vector/raster tools ever made.

A watercolour painting done from scratch entirely in Affinity Designer. Brushes used here are designed by me and will be released with Affinity Photo.
