Corel Painter, of this or any recent version is loaded with features that should please just about anyone with serious artistic intentions. Given its degree of capabilities, a more powerful computer with plenty of RAM is recommended. The downside is that the learning curve is steep. Corel's on-line instruction manual is over 200 pages because there's a lot to learn. If one aspires to big artistic endeavors but doesn't want to spend a lot of time and effort in learning how to use the app, it may be worthwhile to consider Painter's baby brother, Painter Essentials which still has many useful tools available but not overwhelmingly so. This app is also far less expensive.

This is a great new way for me to do art. I will tell you though it is not easy to learn to use. The user guide is over 800 pages. It is huge and it does so much--but you have to learn each thing and it was hard for me to get started but I am now doing better and have started doing some real art with I will post some pics so you can see what it can do...it is so cool. I am going to work on this and keep learning I think even after one year I will still be learning to do new things with it and that actually makes me happy. But if you dont want something quite technical and something that requires a lot of effort to learn to use competently, then get an easier art program like ArtRage or something else on that level. They are much cheaper, you can even get Artrage oils for android free. So I am warning you if you dont want to have to work hard to learn the basics then dont get this...I however dont mind for the rewards are quite worth it in how much more you can do wtith it. And I have bought a Wacom tablet to work wtih it and that makes it much better infact I owuld not buy it if you dont plan to get a pressure sensitive tablet to paint on with.Read full review

I have Painter 2015 & 2017 so I'm sure this edition works fine but my copy had a glitch & I uninstalled. When I tried to re-install it, I got an error message that it was still installed. I haven't been able to delete all the associated files so I haven't been able to actually re-install and use it.

i like that Corel has included an option to access (via drop-down menu) all the brushes in previous versions of painter. the jury is still out in my mind regarding "thick paint" brushes. don't like the fact that they are on their own layer and cannot be manipulated with brushes from other catagories. still, looks promising. all in all i am happy with painter 18 and will continue using it.

I was a little nervous about buying this at first. Seeing as I was worried over this being pirated or a basic student copy. Instead I got the official version of Painter in great packaging and support!
