My Review
For the digital watercolor enthusiast I would highly recommend this app. Unlike ArtRage for iPad the brushes demonstrate no lagging and the paint interacts with the paper texture very realistically, much like natural media watercolor paints.
The splatter and paint flow was a nice surprise!
Cons:
The number of undos should be increased or the addition of layers to make corrections easier.
Put the eraser on the main toolbar to create a more natural painting flow.
Add additional paper textures
A very nice app for the digital watercolor artist. This one will come with me everywhere I travel!
