About ArtRage
ArtRage is a painting program that imitates real paint, with textures and color blending that behave like physical media. The flagship desktop edition, ArtRage Vitae, runs on Windows and macOS and is also sold through the Windows and Apple stores. ArtRage Vitae Mobile brings the painting tools to iOS and Android tablets and phones.
