Overview
Fresh Paint is one of the most intuitive and fun painting apps that anyone can install on their Windows 11/10 PC, and best yet, it was created directly by Microsoft as a means to allow their users to experience the true feeling of real painting directly on the screens of their desktop or laptop PCs.
Built from the ground up to not follow the traditional experience of raster graphics editors of all shapes and sizes (from Paint to Photoshop), Fresh Paint manages to introduce PC users to the actual procedure of painting or retouching photos and images by presenting them with a traditional canvas, a wide array of brushes, and a color palette where the user has full freedom to blend and mix colors to get accurate and specific shades. Then, just like with a real painting, the user only needs to start painting and experimenting on the canvas.
In addition to using a blank canvas that is perfect for the creation of completely unique images, this app also has full support for retouching any image present on the PC storage. Images can be loaded and placed on the canvas, and then altered, enhanced, or completely painted over in any way user wants to.
Fresh Paint features a very simple and intuitive user interface that supports all types of input modes – mouse, stylus, and touch. The color and brushes can be customized to look like a pencil, pastel, oil, watercolor, and pen, with full control over brush thickness, brush strokes design, and more.
For younger users, the app has a built-in catalog of various templates and activities that are ready-made to be painted over into stunning images. Of course, like all other modern painting apps, this one also supports accessibility features such as undo and eraser, but it will surprisingly not help you to more easily paint images in some situations. For example, the app lacks the color fill tool that can many other similar apps do include in their toolset.
This is one of the best apps for unlocking the creativity of painters. With the ability to create original artworks, enhance old photos and paintings, or provide fun activity packs, anyone can become an accomplished painter in mere moments. Fresh Paint is 100% FREE and can be downloaded from its official Windows Store page on any PC running Windows 8, 10, and 11.
