Art teachers and artists will want to know about this unique drawing program that lets you experiment with different visual effects not available in mainstream art programs, such as PhotoShop. Features include three brush tips, a palate of thousands of colors, unlimited undo ability, and links to an online museum. Resulting projects can have a look of gouache, watercolor, felt pen, spray can, pastel, charcoal and wax crayon. So even a novice can look amazing. Several aspects of the program are limited, including the screen size, ability to export work at higher resolutions. However, the interface is easy to learn and it is always easy to reverse any action. It is also possible to share projects in the online gallery. You can see samples, or download a copy for purchase (about 10 MB) at www.demarque.com.
