# Rebelle Reviews **Vendor:** Escape Motions **Category:** [Drawing Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/drawing) **Average Rating:** 4.8/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 77 ## About Rebelle Rebelle is an award-winning, hyper-realistic painting software with phenomenal oils, acrylics, watercolors, and other wet and dry media. Paint pigments color mixing, oil thickness, watercolor diffusion, and NanoPixel technology, convincingly mimic the way natural media interact with the canvas and itself. Rebelle is designed for everyone who wants to explore their artistic skills using digital technology, no matter their level of proficiency. Its state-of-the-art tools will certainly change the mind of every digital art non⁠-⁠believer. ## Rebelle Reviews ### 1. Rebelle 7 Pro: Unmatched Realistic Natural Media in an Intuitive, Smooth Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marvin N. | General Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2026 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I started using Rebelle 7 Pro because it offers an unmatched, realistic emulation of natural art media (watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, etc.), including believable interaction with the digital paper, canvas, or painting ground. The cost of owning it is very reasonable compared to other software that offers almost the same features. It’s built in a very intuitive way for a traditional artist like me, so a steep learning curve is basically non-existent. I love the interface and the overall user experience it provides. The software runs smoothly and rarely bugs out. I also like that I can easily export to PSD format if I ever want to do extra adjustments using Photoshop or Affinity Photo tools. That makes it highly compatible with most major image manipulation software. The integrated timelapse feature is great as well, and I love how the recording system works—specifically, that it only records the strokes. This makes it possible for me to leave recording on without worrying that a steady frame will record nothing. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** The digital papers are actually expensive compared to the production cost of making these digital papers. I wish they increase more the number of colors from an image. The current maximum number of colors generated from image feels very limiting. I wish there is also a way to save workspace. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I’m a traditional artist. Even though I’ve used Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Sketchbook, Corel Painter, ArtRage, and others, none of them really gave me that traditional feel when drawing or painting. Rebelle is the one that finally gave me the traditional experience I’d been looking for. ### 2. Using Rebelle for traditional looking digital painting: an unmatched experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicolas F. | Amateur digital illustrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2026 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Best software for traditional looking digital painting I´ve ever tried. Period **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I haven´t noticed downsides to Rebelle so far, I was worried about the performance on extra large canvases but everything runs smooth. (Notice: my PC has a ryzen 9900x3d, 64 Gb ddr5 6000 mt/s, an RTX 4070 super and Rebelle is installed on a SSD M.2 Nvme drive, but i do encounter performance issues on other digital painting softwares like CSP or PS when using huge canvas/resolutions and demanding brushes at big sizes) **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love making digital paintings or drawings that look traditional and I always find flaws on the way it works on other programs, Like PS bevel and emboss function on custom brushes with various overlay and under textures works decent, but i does still look digital, plus it is quite complicated and consists of a lot of trial and error, fine tunning, very heavy files and dealing with lag. Rebelle solves that achieving way better results with no time wasted and 0 lag issues ### 3. Natural Art Feel, Needs UI and Feature Improvements **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Wyatt B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I like how Rebelle feels more natural compared to other apps, which makes the art process more intuitive for me. I also appreciate the color mixing feature because it stands out in enhancing my creative work. Setting it up was easy, which made it convenient to start working right away. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I wish it had touch gestures built in if you're using it on a touch screen. Also, the canvas textures offered with purchase are limited and added ones are oddly expensive. Maybe just better UI options, adjustability for smaller screens. It's not bad, but could use work. I generally plan out my compositions on Procreate for its ease of use and simplified ability to manipulate and transform composition. I have tried using Rebelle's transform tools, they are very limited. Just better transforming tools like better transforming tools and liquify, touch gestures and UI options for tablets, as well as more canvas options included with Rebelle at purchase. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Rebelle because it feels more natural and is more intuitive compared to other apps, especially in color mixing. ### 4. Digital Painting Mastery with Rebelle **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tommy A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I use Rebelle for my creative artwork and explaining to my students how oil and acrylic paint works. It solves a mess by allowing me to work digitally with my students, without having to worry about setup and cleanup time. It gives me the exact same effect as true-to-life oil paints. What stands out the most is how I can mix colors on screen, and it has a realistic vision of what the paints actually do. The initial setup was very simple, just like most software for Windows. Overall, it's that good of a program that I'd absolutely rate it a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 for recommending it to a friend or colleague. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I would probably say photograph editing is probably the biggest weakness that Rebelle has. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle solves the mess and smell of physical painting, allowing digital work with my students without setup and cleanup time, while providing a true-to-life oil paint effect. ### 5. Simulates Real Media with a Clean UI, Needs Lower RAM Usage **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Samuel H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2026 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I like Rebelle for its ability to simulate real media, which is great for my work with concept art and aerospace. I really appreciate the clean UI, making my experience smoother. The interactive canvas and paper features are also a big plus for me. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy, which I found very convenient. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** RAM usage is a bit high sometimes, leading to brush lag. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle simulates real media which helps in my concept art and aerospace work. ### 6. Huge jump from v3 to v8 - glad I did it. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Don T. | Retired, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Huge changes from my Rebelle 3. The additional features really help this amateur learn more about what I'm doing but also make the job easier. Not that I have more time to play around and use the program it made sense to finally upgrade. I just wasn't using it enough to warrant the changes. But I'm very impressed with the upgrade and Christmas pricing. Ease of implementation really helped me and I'm hoping the ease of integration with my other work will pay off as I help my Son's church. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** No upgrade option from v3. That would have been nice but waiting and seeing today's Christmas sale, while not an upgrade price (big difference if I had a new version). **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** A more professional look to what we're trying to accomplish and provide our viewers. I'm hoping the if needed customer support will be readily available. ### 7. Perfect Digital Watercolor Experience with Seamless UI **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cambridge Phillip Jerome M. | Technical Consultant **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I love the simple user interface of Rebelle, which makes it easy to use for intermediate-level artists. I also find the watercolor paper cold pressed textured canvas and the watercolor and ink-based tools essential in replicating my real-life watercolor style. The initial setup was awesome! **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I wish there was one made for iPadOS or at least for computers with integrated graphics to make it more accessible without losing its imaging abilities and qualities. This program truly does a better job of replicating real life watercolors and other mediums, yet it is hard not to wonder how it will keep up with the real life constraints of peoples financial situations, as the people who benefit from this software at the moment are the niche creators. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle helps me translate realistic watercolor illustrations to digital screens with its simple user interface, making it accessible for intermediate artists. ### 8. Recreates Traditional Art with Excitement **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** marschall a. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I love using Rebelle for my own personal art projects because it allows me to recreate traditional art. It's fun and exciting to use. I especially love the oil bristle brushes, which are a standout feature for me. The initial setup was also easy enough. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** It's difficult to always know how to recreate water paint the way it works in real life. More tutorials on how each setting will affect brushes and paint are needed for beginners. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle allows me to recreate traditional art for my personal projects, making the experience fun and exciting. ### 9. Realistic Painting Experience with Rebelle **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julio César M. **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I love the intuitive environment of Rebelle, which provides a refreshing traditional painting feel in the digital realm, something highly valued for being unique. I deeply appreciate the capabilities of the brushes and how they interact with each other to mimic color blending very similarly to real-world paints. This feature allows me to achieve textures and colors that I haven't been able to achieve with any other painting software, making the creative experience authentic and enriching. Additionally, the initial setup of Rebelle is incredibly easy, as I just need to open the program and I can start painting immediately. This greatly simplifies the creative process and allows me to focus on my art without distractions. For these reasons, I am completely convinced to recommend Rebelle, giving it a 10 out of 10 in that recommendation. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** It could improve the customization of the screens and allow them to be arranged to the user's liking. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle offers an intuitive environment with a traditional painting feel, realistically blending colors, which is a digitally refreshing breath of fresh air and allows for textures and colors that other software cannot achieve. ### 10. Realistic Drawing Experience with Creative Tools **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emilio O. **Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I love how Rebelle serves as a perfect tool for my schoolwork and is a substantial source of charm due to the unique style it enables in my drawings. It excels in creative expression where other software like Photoshop falls short. I appreciate all the comprehensive tools it offers and the incredible realism they bring to digital art, making it feel almost as if I'm working with physical media. This authenticity makes the creative process genuinely engaging. Additionally, I am impressed by the dedication evident in the tool's development; it's clear that Rebelle is made by creatives for creatives. The setup of Rebelle is incredibly user-friendly, especially the newest version, which makes the paper setup process automatic and seamless. The interface is intuitive, which makes getting up and running with the software a breeze. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I feel that Rebelle could benefit from better integration with Photoshop, as the connection between these two tools could be improved, though I havent really tried the 8 pro version just yet **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Rebelle for its realistic tools and creative capabilities that Photoshop can't replicate, which support my schoolwork and provide income through my unique drawing style. ### 11. A phenomenal software to mimic traditional art mediums **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** GANESH R. | Freelance Artist and Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The authenticity of it. How well it mimics the real mediums. Especially love the water draining down in the watercolor brushes, the impasto of oil brushes, and my most favourite - the metallic brushes. Bought the new upgrade for the symmetry tool. All in all a really good software. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I don't see any downside to it at the moment. However, a few things you can consider are creating a Discord community, which would make it easier for communication and resolving queries. Also, if there are a few more feature upgrades to the timelapse setting in the software. This would greatly help in exporting and marketing artists' work on social media. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest benefit I get from using this software is the cost of buying paint and stationery for different mediums. Physical materials can be limiting as one needs to set up the materials and canvas every time. So in that sense it really helps because I can easily create an artwork with different materials and colors and brushes on different surfaces. Also the fact that im getting the same effect as creating a traditional artwork digitally is quite innovative and fantastic. ### 12. Great digital painting software with a traditional feel **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tamara J. | Freelance Artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Compared to other digital painting software (Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Procreate, etc), Rebelle has the most realistic look and feel of traditional tools. The watercolor spreads, the oil paint is layered, and I can replicate the dusty textures of charcoal or calk with little effort. The parameters of these features can be adjusted to fit personal style. With its realistically textured canvases/papers and customizable brush effects paired with a graphics tablet, it feels great to work with. The exporting features are also good for when it's time to prepare a file for print. It even has a feature, NanoPixelExport, that allows for scaling up without ruining the quality or delicious textures that you've worked hard to create. And it's a perpetual license! None of that predatory subscription pricing that so many other companies require. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** The selection tools could use a little more love. I find myself making some final touches in Affinity Photo, for example, just because it's better at selecting specific ranges or areas. Rebelle isn't primarily a photo editing program, though, and it's not fair to expect it to have the same tools as one. Depending on workflow, this may not be an issue for most people. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle provides the familiarity of digital painting tools with the look of traditional mediums. In a time when people are craving more authentic art and a more handmade look, this is a good compromise of the accessibility that digital painting provides (line smoothing, zoom, edit history, etc) and the opportunity to apply skills learned from experience with traditional materials. It also doesn't integrate generative AI like some other companies have done. That gives me peace of mind that they still respect artists enough not to steal their work or try to replace them. ### 13. Great to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** It's the pick up and play nature. Unlike other, similar, software you just pick your canvas, pick the tool, brush and let rip. It's my go to software when I want to relax and just create without the software getting in the way. As of typing a new fashion project is getting underway and this is my daily driver when it comes to putting together the initial sketches and some of the more refined designs and colour sets. The range of natural media is great and with the Pro version being able to mix colours as you would on a physical palette only goes to enhance the experience. Easy to install and run, activation is reliable, I haven't had any issues and I've been using it since the 0.75 beta version, bought solely on the strength of the Watercolour engine which has only gotten better. I haven't had to contact Customer support in my own personal use, however we implemented version 3 at work as a network version and the customer support was great. As it supports .psd files loading in files from Photoshop (and visa versa) means cross software use is about as good as you'd want. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** The brush system can be a wee bit awkward to use ( without a bit of fiddling in the Brush set up menu as the pressure sensitivity can be a bit sensitive. I nearly always have to tweak this in my Wacom tablet properties interface when swapping between Photoshop, Painter and Rebelle. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Saves me having to clean mainly. I get to use natural media without the mess (brushes, palettes, etc...) or the space, which is at a bit of a premium right now. It also allows me to use papers that I wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to experience. ### 14. Astonishing First Impressions from Rebelle 8.2 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julian D. | Digital Artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 24, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I haven't tried it yet, but I was really impressed by the video about Rebelle 8.2. It looks absolutely astonishing! **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I don't have any thoughts yet, as I haven't tried it. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a digital artist, I previously used Corel Painter but found it disappointing. In comparison, Rebelle seems superior in every aspect! ### 15. The Best of Both Worlds for Digital Traditional Art **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Rebelle is amazing. The simulation, the detail, the natural feeling of putting pigment on the canvas. I didn't do art for a long time and Rebelle has got me excited to draw and to paint again. The UI is intuitive and everything is extremely customizable. The brushes are superb. The colour mixing is the best on the market. And if you don't want any of the simulation features, you can turn off or pause any you don't want to use and have an extremely responsive application for typical digital art. If you're interested in digital art in any way, Rebelle is a must try. It's the most innovative art application in the space, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** It's really hard to find anything to dislike about Rebelle. Maybe that there isn't a portable version of it yet for phones or Android tablets, but that would be a tall order for some of the processing power required for its simulation features. Besides that I think the only criticisms that can be said of Rebelle are nitpicks. It can be resource intensive, moreso than most other art applications so this should be kept in mind. Even still it is extremely responsive. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle is helping me to make the art I want to make, which comes from a love of traditional art media - and without the constant worry or mess that comes with actual, physical art supplies, while reaping all of the benefits of digital art. Rebelle is also filling a niche in the digital art space where others are either focused elsewhere or trying to keep up with its features. ### 16. New features are a great upgrade! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Arts and Crafts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I just bought Rebelle 8 pro version (upgrading from Rebelle 7 Pro) and the new features are a delight to use! Overall optimization really impacted drawing and fluidity of the work. Awesome upgrade and I'm looking forward to next versions now with the 1-Year Free Update policy! **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Right now, the only thing I dislike is the look of the interface. I just feel we could get a little love from developers with a more intentional and easy interface, but it's definitely a personal preference, however. I don't consider the interface bad, I'd just like more options to customize and tailor it to my preferences! **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle helps me accomodate with the prices and costs of implementing traditional texture and feel through my work. Buying traditional art supplies sometimes is too expensive where I live, and having the possibility of using Rebelle halps a lot in delivering quality work at a fair price. ### 17. The only software that has brushes that don't irritate me **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maja G. | student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The natural look of the works that come out from this software increase value of my works and I have better scores at my Art University even if I lack of time and strength to make it more fine. It also gives some retro vibe. The rulers and perspective function is goat. Nano pixel export and ability to upscale resolution at export has saved me from overheating computer and losing sanity when forgot to make it 300 DPI instead of 72 DPI. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** At first it is difficult to manage watery brushes for no other painting program works like this and having wet paper at digital file can be confusing. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I could stop testing hundreds of photoshop and krita brushes that just didn't felt right. Upscaling at export function is absolutely amazing for increasing resolution at last minute before deadline. ### 18. Rebelle 8 Pro is impressive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** It is astonishing how realistic Rebelle is with paint behavior. I'm just learning but I've seen work that others have produced and you only know it is digital because they tell you. Rebelle 8 pro is impressive. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Like painting with real paint, it can be hard to master. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle Pro 8 gives me the opportunity to work in mediums that I hadn't before with the benefit of the undo button :) ### 19. Rebelle does it again **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander M. | Personal docente, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** It is an application that allows intuitive work while offering the possibility of creating advanced resources in a personalized way, ideal for all types of visual artists. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** However, working with the tablet's pressure can be smoother to achieve more harmonious results without having to go through so many advanced tool options. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** The implementation of larger brushes and more natural shadows for relief strokes ### 20. The best digital watercolour software I've ever used. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adrian C. | Freelance Illustrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The natural behaviour of the paint and its ability to allow you to edit or undo is a game changer for the world of watercolours. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Watercolour is a very natural and intuitive skill, and this is where the software has room to improve to cater for the mindsets of artistic minds. Can be over complicated and frustrating at times to achieve a simple task. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's allowed me to add watercolour to my portfolio again after moving away from it due to low profit and physical space. It allows me to provide watercolours again and with the added bonus of editing and undo. ### 21. The VERY BEST painting software I have EVER used!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** K'La H. | Flight Attendant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I'm using this software almost every day. The oil and watercolor simulation left me speechless from the moment I began the trial version. I come from a traditional paint background. In the past, I've used Adobe Suite, Affinity Universe, and Clip Studio Paint. Although they're all great, NONE of them --at least for me--can compare to Rebelle in the sense of realistic paint texture, movement, and blending styles. I love, love, love this discovery...just when I thought my art couldn't get any more real. I have to add that the pigment and nanopixel features in Pro 7 are phenomenal. Another thing I really appreciate is the workspace. It's not as "loaded" as other art software which works for me because I don't need advanced photo effects nor preferences to get my work the way I want it, so it's very easy to handle the layout. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Thankfully, I haven't necessarily had any problems with Rebelle, and no need for customer support yet. Checking out and paying for the software was the only challenging part, but I went to the community's forum and found what I needed to fix this. I had to do nothing but restart Rebelle afterward. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Business problems are not applicable to me at this moment. ### 22. Unmatched Oil Paint Simulation and Outstanding Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Absolutely incredible software, i have a background in traditional media and this is the ONLY software out there that mimics anything close to oil paints. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Honestly there's nothing so far that I don't like. Customer service is also excellent. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making the shift from traditional media to digital media has been a significant change. The software really helps. ### 23. Undisputed in digital painting. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The best in its category. Pigment mixing, canvas texture, UI is just a few to mention. Functions you wont get in any other. This is as a close to get to painting on your computer. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Pricing is no joke. (But still worth it, if you want something what actually delivers what it promises.) **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used to paint with oil in real life. Nothing else comes even close to Rebelle if you want the medium in digital. Main reason i bought it: pigment mixing and wet paint/canvas simulation. ### 24. The best digital drawing and painting experience out there! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott F. | Concept Artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** After testing Rebelle 7 for a few weeks, I can see that its designed from the ground up as a tool for artists, not photographers. I'm a traditional painter in oil, acrylic, gouache and watercolor and I'm very impressed with all of these tools. The oil brushes in particular are amazing, with a very convincing look and feel, comparable to the real thing. Even a very simple round brush is a delight to paint with. Highly recommended to any digital artist who wants to draw and paint any subject matter in any medium. Rebelle has all the features that I've been wanting in Photoshop like screen recording, brush favorites, built in canvas textures with realistic paint interactivity, and an excellent oil brush mixing system - much easier to use and more convincing than Photoshop's equivalent. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I'd like to see a way to open multiple documents at once. Also, it would be great to make the brush size larger than the current limit. This is configured as a percentage, not a pixel size, so I don't know if this is an absolute or relative value in relation to the document size. It would also be nice to have a few more keyboard shortcuts similar to Photoshop, but perhaps I can change those in the preferences. Keep up the great work, and there are still many features yet to explore. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can create realistic oil paintings which have a very unique and classic look, both for illustration work and fine art prints. ### 25. My review of Rebelle Pro **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Arts and Crafts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I think Rebelle is a unique software in the marketplace. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** It's ability to simulate watercolor painting isn't bad. Hopefully it will improve more in the future. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's getting better at reproducing colour. ### 26. Pigment Color Mixing Is Astonishing! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark Laurence L. | Studio Artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** As a traditional oil painter, I have always been disappointed with RGB-based painting software and could never embrace digital painting because of this. The colors on my screen would never mix to create an authentic color blend equivalent to pigment paints on my palette. Rebelle auto-magically solves that problem! And now I'm all in with this fantastic technology. I also love the software's responsiveness and no-lag performance. It's a delight to work with. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I only wish I could open multiple documents in separate tabs simultaneously. Sometimes, I like to jump quickly from one project to another. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating authentic looking oil painting for digital reproduction. ### 27. Longtime Corel Painter user finally gets the hang of Rebelle, starts using it more than Painter **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Rebelle is the closest to a real media paint experience I've used yet-- specifically with the way you use your brush to pick up colors like real paint. It lets you pick up a dabs of color from anywhere on the canvas, raise your brush, and have it loaded with that color for your next brushstroke. I like that I can have dual-tone dabs and dirty brushes. And let's not forget the metallic paint, which is what lured me in this time to really sink my teeth into Rebelle 7 Pro and make serious progress despite bouncing off Rebelle 5 years ago. It doesn't completely replace Painter for me, but it doesn't need to-- although there is overlap, both programs really shine at different things. And did I mention those metallics? I'll be using digital gold leaf on everything for the next month. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** It guzzles RAM like a hobbit discovering pints, and the learning curve is the hardest I've encountered since playing Dwarf Fortress in ASCII. Yes, it's wonderful software, but that complexity and nuance is also what will slow you down at first. Be prepared to spend some real time getting to know and understand how to use it well, because your expectations from other software will probably work against you. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm painting for myself with Rebelle at the moment, but it will enhance work for clients with realistic impasto and metallics. ### 28. Awesome software for painters **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julian A. | Artista visual, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I´m a traditional painter, never been good with computer programs, but Rebelle is so easy and addictive, learning the program just by exploring and playing has been wonderful. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I don´t know if there is already tutorials for it, I still have a lot to discover, but, for me it would be wonderful if there are video tutorials on how to export the pieces ready for instagram and other platforms. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Is very confortable, everything is in the same place, is fast, is efficient and it has helped me in understanding better paint and its qualities. ### 29. Fun to experiment with! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Teresa C. | Digital Artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I'm finally getting used to this software. It's simple enough to get started using it, but it's power is in the different paint settings and water dynamics. You can actually move paint around on the canvas by adding water and using the page tilt control! It's great for making abstract art digitally in a way that wasn't possible before. The realistic look of all the art tools is really impressive! **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Depending on the user, it may be time consuming to learn like complex brush settings and how to work with the water dynamics. Also, there is a liquify setting in the smudge tool which seems rather slow and it doesn't look as natural as I'd like. This software could actually be the answer to digital liquid acylic paint pouring and other fluid art techniques but it's not quite there yet. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a new aproach to digital art. It's giving me the chance to experiment in ways I couldn't have before. ### 30. It's almost incredible, so amazing Rebelle is! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrea M. | Freelance artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The ability to create hand-painted is excellent! I was mesmerized by the way Rebelle imitates the experience of painting and gives us results identical to those done by hand. And now, with metallic paintings, the possibilities have been expanded. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Still haven't found anything I have disliked. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I draw manually, and I was able to master digital drawing, but I couldn't achieve the appearance of manual paintings. With Rebelle, I can do that and feel that the artwork truly looks handmade. And the special art papers make it even more plausible. ### 31. Best for Digital Painting **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emanuel B. | Illustrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I love the diversity of tools and their customizations. It's the most fun digital painting a person can have. Nothing about it is a waste. You'll spend more money and have less fun trying to have the same experience with Adobe or similar products. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** A bit of a learning curve at first. It simply works different from the "industry standards", which poses the challenge of learning a unique software. That said, it doesn't take long to start figuring things out, plus there are good guides online. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Affordable digital painting software that I own and can use forever. Unique tools and work flow that can't be found anywhere else. ### 32. Brilliant simulation of physical media **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ankit P. | Freelancer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Wanted a software that does oil paints and also water colours really really well, along with realistic pigment mixing. But add to that nanopixel tech and it makes Rebelle standout. I tried several apps for digital painting before deciding to choose Rebelle. They all have their pros and cons but none comes close to Rebelle for what its designed to do. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Perhaps some more performance improvements wouldn't hurt at all. At present Rebelle does require a fairly powerful processor for some of its features. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to recreate close to authentic oil painting and water colour techniques, without having to invest a whole lot in actual physical media. I don't have the space either needed for a full art studio. ### 33. The most realistic digital painting software I've ever tried. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Juan Luis G. | Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Web Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2025 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** How close to the traditional way it feels. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** The colour wheel can be sometimes confusing. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides me the chance to have a more enjoyable and less technical painting experience. ### 34. The best digital painting software I can ask for. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aaron S. | Self Employed artist., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Everything. The user-friendliness, the thoughtful menu organization, the way it emulates paint, the metallic paints... It is just fun and easy to use and get great results with. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Sometimes the snapping of the different tool menus can be a little bit fussy and buggy, but it is so minor that I can easily overlook it. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves the problem of art software being criminally overpriced. It is benefitting me because I can actually afford software that allows me to create professional quality artwork without a needless subscription model. It allows me to create visually striking and clear images with a very low learning curve and I really appreciate that. ### 35. Enjoyable and highly intuitive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Les S. | Multidisciplinary Creative Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I think the paper and micro texture tech used in Rebelle is unmatched. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** It's harder to find custom burses from other users/suppliers. But truth be told, sometimes you don't need 5000 different brushes. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating a more true to life way of mixing colours, something I can't find in other software rpoducts. ### 36. Easily the most fun and most powerful painting program **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thomas W. | -, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The treatment of colors, the versatility of brushes and papers and the stunning choice of tools are truely breathtaking. You get predefined brushes for each of the various tools, namely 2 types of oil&acrylic, water color brush, pen, ink, pastel, marker and spray can. Each brush can then be modified and added as yet another brush in your brushes palette. It will also use various modes, e.g. paint, paint&smudge, smudge only or liquify, Or stamp, or fill or erase or.. Among the standout features are watercolors and how they let you run the liquids across the canvas, interacting with the surface of the paper, the tilt and then blowing on it. Or adding more water. Or quick drying it.. - It brings a happy smile on my face each time I use it! Obviously it works best with a graphics tablet and a pen, cintiq comes to mind but tablet computers will also give you the fun of directly seeing what you do. Rebelle offers so many things I had not even dreamed of I am continuously amazed. There are many tutorials and just watching those can take hours.. That being said, one can still jump right in and start painting without spending the time to study each knob.. Escape Motion's support is quick and friendly and there is an active community providing more help; documentaton is pretty good but of course it can't completly hide the power i.e. the complexity of the software. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** The ways to influence all sort of things are overwhelming and maybe an assistant would help? While Rebelle is clearly geared towards the painter/graphical artist it would be nice to get text on the canvas without outside software. And it would be great if selections could be feathered. I find it somethimes annoying that one or more of the palette windows open on the wrong monitor. I want them to come up alyways and only on the one the main window is on. The pricing of additional papers is a bit stiff and there ought to be more quantity discounts; buying all b/w or all 4c papers is not so attractive, especially as the discounts on both of those packages are rather measly. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating convincing paintings ### 37. Great brush effects **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steve M. | Sr Manager - Agile Delivery, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The imposto look generated from organic digital paint strokes **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** learning yet another UI (though, the UI is pretty intuitive) **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have been a digital illustrator for a while and I wanted to branch out into something that looked like more of a match for real-world oil painting. ### 38. The Best Charcoals I have ever used in a digital painting software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mayukh B. | Associate Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 29, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I had mostly worked on portraits in charcoals before trying out digital painting. I have used several digital painting software on my journey, but never found the excitement I used to get in traditional media. In my quest to get a tradigital feel to my work, I gathered many brush sets from various artists (both paid and free) but was never quite satisfied. But with Rebelle I can confidently say that I have found my ideal digital charcoals. The brush engine and software magic that Rebelle 7 does with charcoals right out of the box without even needing much tweaking, is liberating as an artist. No more fidgeting around with tens of brush packs; Rebelle has made painting easy and fun again for me. It has become my go-to software now as drawing and painting in it feels very familiar. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I have not yet found anything that I dislike about Rebelle. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle has finally given me the ability to replicate traditional charcoals digitally without all the hassles of working with physical charcoal. The brushes are intuitive and full of texture and life which makes me want to draw more! ### 39. The absolute best in Digital art **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tammy L. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The brushes, canvases and textures. Also the easy interface and tools **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Rebelle is near perfect. The only thing it doesn't have is a liquify setting (like in Procreate) to create digital pour paintings **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes my creative process smooth and fun. It has realistic paint stroke textures and makes me as an artist extremely happy ### 40. I genuinely enjoy using Rebelle. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tommy H. | Student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** The brushes! They just feel right. I get the feeling that great care has gone into making this software. The UI is not overly complicated and the developers seem to put a lot of thought into how the tools work. You can tell. It is pretty easy to use. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I have one minor complaint. I would like a triangular shaped color wheel. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle gives me a fun and intuitive tools to help me realize my ideas. ### 41. Magical watercolor simulation! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel L. | Freelance Visual Design, Illustration, & Surface Pattern Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I have been a digital artist for 15+ years. I switched from using a Wacom setup with Clip Studio, Photoshop and Corel Painter in 2016 to an iPad and Procreate for illustration. However, because of Rebelle, I will now be moving back to a tablet setup. I love creating digital watercolors, but I found myself limited with Procreate. While it is an amazingly intuitive program for drawing, there are no truely "live" watercolor effects or happy accidents. Any realisim, texture, or whimsical blooms and effects must be carefully and painstakingly recreated with stamps, paper textures, and blending. When I discovered Rebelle it totally blew me away. The realistic paint mixing, effects, drips, and water simulation is so incredible. It's just like painting with real watercolors but with the convienence of digital. The interface is clean and logical. Tools are easy to find and I have been able to follow YouTube tutorials to understand the features. It's a complex program but not overwhelming. I truly love using it! **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I would say that even more documentation/tutorials would be great. This program is robust and there is a lot to learn. The only other thing I could mention is a few feature requests. 1. I would love some "salted" effect brushes for the watercolor tools. Ones that produce very textured and spidery looks when applied to the wet paint. Right now, you can get some pretty good effects with the splatter tools, but they are more uniform and have less extreme diffusion of big, chunky salt. 2. When using the water tools, I find it challenging to see where the water is going to go. When turning on the wet canvas preview tool, it shows where all the wet parts are as a cyan colored overlay. However, the added water is also shown as a cyan color. I wish that it would show the water area in a different way, so I could better visualize where I'm adding it. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Truly realistic digital watercolor painting effects. It's exactly like painting with paints and water. I love the look and the "hand feel" but I can also edit, redo, and save my art for commercial work. Much easier than painting, scanning, and cleaning up analogue art. ### 42. Watercolours without having to clean up! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Howard C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I really like the way the Rebelle has recreated the effects of water flowing on the paper in the digital realm. I have used Rebelle since Rebelle 3 and have been impressed by how I can understand the basic principles of how to create digital watercolours digitally from just applying the same theories as I would for real watercolours. Although I use Rebelle for watercolours, you can use Rebelle to replicat other traditional art media too. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I think the one thing I disliked when I first started using Rebelle is actually one of its main selling points - the amount of features. But I think as a new user (and being new to digital art creartion), I felt a bit overwhelmed by everything. I would have liked a lot more guidance to help traditional artists transition to the realm of digital art, but as with a lot of things, experimenting can actually be more helpful in the learning experience. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows me to create "watercolours" and experimenting with ideas without the mess / using paper everytime I want to try something. It also allows me to share my art digitally without an extra step in my workflow. ### 43. Like Painting a Dream **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mordy W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Thick paint, looks so darn realisitc, I compared so many competitors and the finished product is by the most realistic on Rebelle **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** So far I have not had much that I dislike, I would say however, It would be more helpful if I could change the canvas color and paper textures more easily and not through the dialog box and having to click out of it to see the changes. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hey everyone! So, I've been playing around with a bunch of digital art software lately, trying to find that perfect one. You know, the kind that really feels like you're painting or drawing for real. I've given everything a go - from the big names like Photoshop to some lesser-known ones. But, let me tell you, nothing has quite hit the mark like Rebelle 6. Okay, so the first thing you've got to know about Rebelle 6 is how it handles brushes. It's like they've captured the essence of real paint on a digital canvas. The way the watercolors spread and blend on the screen - it's so soothing and just... real. I've spent hours with Photoshop, which is awesome in its own right, but for painting? Rebelle 6 is just something else. Photoshop's great, don't get me wrong, especially for editing pictures. But when it comes to feeling like you're actually painting, it sometimes misses that organic touch. Other software I've tried were nice, but they always left me wanting more. Rebelle 6, though, is a whole different story. It's like the software understands how paint and paper work together. It's pretty amazing. The watercolor brushes here are my absolute favorite. They flow and mix on your digital paper just like the real deal. And the oil paints have this rich, buttery texture that’s super satisfying to work with. Plus, the way the paper texture affects your painting is super neat. Another thing I love about Rebelle 6 is how user-friendly it is. The layout is simple and clean, which is great whether you’re just starting out or you've been at this for a while. There’s a bunch of tools and settings, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming. It’s like having a cozy art studio right at your fingertips. So yeah, Rebelle 6 has totally won me over. If you're into digital art and looking for something that feels real and natural, you've got to give it a try. It's more than just software; it's like a little window into a painter's world. Happy painting, everyone! 🎨💖 ### 44. The natural feel of painting, not having to watch paint dry! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarina v. | Ervaringsdeskundige , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Rebelle is really amazing at making painting feel very close to what is to paint on an actual canvas. The products you use like the paint and the canvas have an amazing interaction. There is almost no latency, it has a steep learning curve and great tutorials out there. The different brush settings and being able to make your own brushes are amazing. Plus it is super easy to export a rebelle product to Photoshop - which helps me to make product designs etc. I am super duper excited about it and it inspired me to paint a LOT more again. I've also contacted customer support (With a question about a sale), they've responded very fast and friendly! I've been using Rebelle 7 pro every single day. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** The only downside of Rebelle that I found so far is that the fullscreen option doesn't work well on the size of my wacom tablet. Therefor some features are cut off; I just use it windowed and that works perfectly. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been inspired to paint more, because Rebelle 7 pro just makes it feel like the real thing. The only thing is that I can not actually feel the structure of the canvas, but my brushes respond to the texture like they would if I painted on a real canvas. It is beautiful. ### 45. Most realistic painting software I have ever used **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** damian w. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2023 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** Rebelle stands on its own, and excels in natural media moreso than I have ever seen in any other software. The watercolour emulation is unrivalled and spectacular. It blends watercolours realistically, and allows you to control tilt direction and strength - just as you do with real watercolour papers - shifting the paper to control blending. It even allows "blowing" on the paint and drips!! I feel like every other painting software I have tried has not had a connection to the original media and the techniques involved, but that is completely different with Rebelle. There are a number of great videos on YouTube to help you get up and running quickly with some of the features not found in other software, and plenty of other common paradigms taht will feel right at home when coming from any other graphics app. Rebelle has very quickly become my favourite painting program - far exceeding my expectations, and vastly distancing from the others. Support has been very prompt, and incredibly helpful with any questions. The breadth of capabilities and control over watercolour, oils and other media is both simple and expansive in allowing you to intuitively tune your tools to get the painting results you want. I would HIGHLY highly recommend it. I've been trying painting apps for 20 years, and this has by far been the best. Excited to see what comes next in Rebelle. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** So far, I have found it pretty straightforward and haven't had issues with it. It might be nice to have an ipad version one day, but is really great to use on desktop. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows me to use digital tools, but retain the sensibilities and beautiful aesthetics of traditional media. ### 46. Just like in real life **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeffrey W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I have been drawing and painting since 1972, and doing CAD and CG since 1980. I have used many different graphics packages: Currently Blender, Procreate, and Affinity Designer/Photo. I have used all the Adobe products (stopped when they went subscription based). Everything from Corel/PC Paint to 3D Studio / Maya. For digital drawing/painting, Rebelle is easily the best that I have ever used. The simulated surfaces really act like the real thing. Watercolor tools are unbelievably accurate. I spend a lot of time silkscreening, so the stencil tool is much better than having to create actual screens and far more flexible. A long time ago I worked in an Art Supply store. With Rebelle, it feels like I have a giant art supply store inside my Mac, and all the supplies are free and everything is always in stock. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** No printing functionality, but I imagine that could be tough to do given the accuracy of the surfaces. An iOS version would be nice. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** A great platform for creating material bit-maps to be used in Blender. ### 47. Up and running quickly **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Wm. Stephen S. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I was quickly able to set up and start drawing. I am new to digital painting. I did some tests with other software and this was able to get quality results the fastest. The interface is intuitive, the media familiar. I particularly like the stencil which remind me of SketchBook Pro. They are very easy and quick and invaluable for the technical drafting I do designing jewelry. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** I have to fiddle with Wacom's pressure sensitivity. Sometimes it doesn't register, then it comes in all at once, leaving streaks. Opacity helps with this. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Rebelle for jewelry design and to help me grow as an artist. I would like to get to the point where I can make renderings by hand as concepts to show my clients. ### 48. Amazing Painting Simulator **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emily L. | Freelance Artist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** While previous versions of Rebelle were lots of fun, I the latest version, Rebelle 7, really elevates the program to a professional software. The perspective tool is the best I've encountered, and I use it regularly. The smudge tools are excellent; and the new liquefy tools are something you won't even find in PS. But of course, the standout feature is really the painting simulation. The watercolor feature has real-time diffusion and physics effects that can be paused and unpaused. This is similar to prior versions. However, the latest feature's improvements to the oil paints, especially the color mixing, are hard to overstate. The colors mix vibrantly, and the paint intuitively behaves the way you want it to. The polygon select is also superior to PS. I would absolutely recommend. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** There are only a few things that I would like to see in the program and haven't yet seen. I believe that larger pixel dimensions for custom brush shapes (at least on the "digital" or non simulated tools) would make the program more versatile. As far as I am aware these image sizes have to be quite small. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rebelle has become a staple of my work process when I need to put down a perspective sketch. It also is great for when you need an authentic looking paper and paint texture. ### 49. Rebelle - A surprisingly wonderful software !!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pradeep P. | Retired Assistant Manager (Quality Assurance), Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** I came across Rebelle quite accidently. I was a pleasent surprise! Eventhough I am into the digital painting field for a long time, I have never came across such a wonderful software which gives almost real experience of drawing and painting with traditional medium. The interface is quite simple, uncluttered and very simple to use. Very easy to deploy the tools. Comes with a lot of features inbuilt. Everything is integrated into it, which is required for a traditional artist. Overall, the experience and satisfaction we get on Rebelle is very near to the traditional art methods. The setup and implementation is very easy. I downloaded a trial version and very satisfied with its performance - a real pleasure to work with and I am using it very frequently. The customer support is very prompt and quick, which is a very good thing. The software is very easy to integrate with. It is beyond doubt that Rebelle is one of the best digital art tool available now. As an artist, I love it very much! **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** Nothing in particular to dislike. Some suggestions only : More tutorials to be provided. More brushes and assets to be provided. Best tutorials and best works should be felicitated on a monthly basis. Real time updates to be provided. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a digital artist, Rebelle provide me an experience which very close to the traditional drawing methods without much problems. The output gives more satisfaction to a conventional artist who is switching to the digital art. ### 50. Incredible experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fernando d. | Gestor Clínico / Especialista em Protese Dentária, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2024 **What do you like best about Rebelle?** True lifelike use of traditional media on a digital world. You will be very impressed with the way everything works and behaves, just like real world. Very easy to install and work from the get go. Also, it comes with a lot of tools, you wont be needing much to rock it. **What do you dislike about Rebelle?** You gonna need a decent computer to run it to the max extent. **What problems is Rebelle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Dont need to spend time cleaning brushes and buying paint and canvas. This is the best way to get digital lifelike paintings ## Rebelle Discussions - [What is Rebelle used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-rebelle-used-for) - [View Rebelle pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/rebelle/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+05%3A14%3A59+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f8cc9bda-9a2e-42eb-beaf-3541149d6d22&secure%5Btoken%5D=a5145c6df51d9778104fb26f9a829a33afd94a2cb5ea1401be6dae26b208ead9&format=llm_user) ## Rebelle Integrations - [Adobe InDesign](https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-indesign/reviews) - [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-photoshop/reviews) - [Clip Studio Paint](https://www.g2.com/products/clip-studio-paint/reviews) - [Procreate](https://www.g2.com/products/procreate/reviews) ## Top Rebelle Alternatives - [Painter](https://www.g2.com/products/painter/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (59 reviews) - [ArtRage](https://www.g2.com/products/artrage/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (73 reviews) - [Krita](https://www.g2.com/products/krita/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (63 reviews)
