The program formerly known as Pixarra Sketchbook is a painter's playground, offering a full collection of realistic and natural brushes, as well as media such as watercolors, oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, pens, pencils, and markers.

The installation is fast and painless. After launching TwistedBrush, you can choose from various brushes and brush effects before you start drawing. Stroke samples make the process of selecting much easier. The program borrows features and functionality from many image-editing packages, which makes it seem like familiar territory. Not only does it include traditional effects, such as rotation and flipping, it also provides filters similar to those found in Adobe software. Just be aware it consumes plenty of system resources and requires a powerful system to run smoothly.

For the serious painter, TwistedBrush has one of the best brush engines around. For the home user and enthusiast, it's a creative tool that allows you to paint and play.
