What is Rebelle?
Rebelle is a digital painting application for artists who want brushes and surfaces that behave like traditional media. Its watercolors can spread, drip and react to paper, while oil and acrylic tools build up textured impasto. Pencils, pastels and other dry tools let you combine drawing and painting in the same artwork.
Use layers and masks to separate parts of a composition, reference images to guide proportions, and rulers or perspective guides for more controlled drawing. Brush stabilization, a customizable workspace and time-lapse recording support different painting workflows without changing the focus on natural-media effects.
This link provides the publisher’s Windows trial, not a free full license. Rebelle 8 and Rebelle 8 Pro are separate commercial editions: pigment color mixing, RealShader with SoftShadows, advanced PSD import/export and the Photoshop plug-in are Pro features. Check which edition includes the tools you need before purchasing. The publisher lists Windows 10, 64-bit, as its minimum Windows system and requires an internet connection for activation.
