Mirror painting

With Mirror painting, every stroke you make is copied onto the opposite side of your canvas. Not only does this new tool greatly increase your precision and accuracy when painting symmetrical objects, but it also saves you a lot of time!

Kaleidoscope painting

Go where traditional painting can’t! This exciting new tool allows you to create beautiful kaleidoscope effects on canvas. Use your choice of media to paint electrifying patterns and colors, and see amazing results when you add a blending tool to the mix.

Brush Tracking Utility

Now you can control and customize pressure-sensitive memory to virtually any brush. A visual power curve captures every movement and every line on your canvas, just like you would with real-world art materials.

2 in 1 mobile painting interface

With Real-Time Stylus & Windows Tablet PC support, you can paint on the go and find new inspiration anytime, anywhere. Your Intel 2 in 1 tablet device or Tablet PC will automatically detect when you are in Tablet mode and change the interface for you.

Beginner user interface

The new user interface in Painter Essentials 5 was inspired by the professional tools found in Painter 2015, but was built for beginners.
