ArtStudio 2006 1a

ArtStudio is a useful, simple yet powerful drawing and painting application.
When developing ArtStudio the primary goal was to allow the user to draw quickly and easily without having to think about mouse clicks and keystrokes. Many drawing programs have a huge number of brush options which are not needed by most artists. Although the brush is limited what you can create with it is not.
You wont find any other drawing program like ArtStudio. It was developed by an artist who is also a software engineer. He not only understands how to draw & paint but he also knows how to create easy to use software.
ArtStudio also allows you to display photos, doodle on the photos, add text to the photos and then replay your creation as your screen saver or e-mail it as E-mail Art.
