Expresii

Expresii is a lightweight, yet advanced painting application that provides you with a unique combination of inks and brushes aimed to mimic the Eastern painting or calligraphy.

While the setup is quick and uneventful, you should make sure that you meet the minimum system requirements. On a side note, since the GPU is used for processing, you should bear in mind that there is a chance you can experience difficulties when running the app on older computers or hardware you did not update in a while.

The program comes with a fresh, sleek and stylish interface that comprises of a canvas as well as a toolset window. You should know that the working area is well-structured and clean so that it does not distract you from the creating process. While the interface is user-friendly, you can access the Guide and find out how you can make the most out of watercolor painting with this tool.

The application comes with several presets that you can check out if you are new to this type of digital painting. In fact, you can easily switch between the brushes available and tweak them so that you can work on fine details, accent strokes or fill-ins, for instance.

A noteworthy feature is that selecting colors is pressure-sensitive and hence, the harder you press on the Stylus the more color goes into the tuft. The idea here is to enable you to experience the principle that is used in the traditional Eastern ink painting first-hand.

Even though the tool can currently support only two layers, you should bear in mind that you can obtain a similar effect via the rasterizing or Snap-Down underlay feature to add more.

Irrespective of whether you are looking for something new to sparkle your next digital painting collection or you want to determine whether the Eastern painting or calligraphy suits you, Expresii can lend you a hand.
