When you open Rebelle, you have a complete art studio in front of you with all the possibilities to let your creativity run wild. All media and tools are ready, whether it’s watercolour, oil or acrylic, or dry media tools. You just have to select the appropriate surface, choosing between different canvas textures and papers, hot or cold pressed, rough or fine, handmade or exotic. With the right brushes and tools that you can customise to your needs in many ways, you’re ready to go, the paint never runs out.
Over the years Rebelle has become more and more my go-to software when it comes to digital painting. With the new Rebelle 5, Escape Motions has managed to set a milestone in digital painting with its new Pigment Technology. Until now, in Rebelle as in any other painting software, I had the problem that when mixing colours, they tended more and more to grey; the images ended up looking grey and dull, and I then had to use filters and effects to try and freshen up the colours. I think this is a problem that every digital painter knows. With the new Pigment Technology in Rebelle 5, mixing colours is pure joy. The colours blend as you would expect in traditional painting and are brilliant and vibrant. Even mixed greys are bursting with energy and vibrancy.
