Corel Paint it! Review and Giveaway


THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

CONGRATS TO CINDYWINDY, YOU ARE THE WINNER. I WILL EMAIL YOU AND YOU WILL HAVE 36 HOURS TO RESPOND OR ANOTHER WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN.

Corel is one of the top software companies serving 100 million active users over 75 countries.  Their award-winning product portfolio includes some of the world's most widely recognized and popular software brands, including CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo, Corel Painter, VideoStudio, WinDVD, Corel WordPerfect Office and WinZip.  Their global headquarters are in Ottawa, Canada, with major offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, China, Taiwan and Japan.

I received Corel Paint it!, from the company Corel to review.  It's a photo painting software for your computer; which I could select a photo to transform into a unique painting.  There are many art creations to choose from.  I uploaded the software program into my computer and put the serial number and that was all.  It was a simple software program to load into my computer.  I picked one of my son's picture to trasform into art work.  Which it's great to change one picture into different pieces.  No two pieces will be exactly alike. 

    Original picture of my son.    Corel Paint it! Pencil Drawing.    


    Corel Paint it! Illustration.          Corel Paint it! Oil Painting.


This is one of the pictures of my son, that I have transformed by using some of...

Corel Paint it! Painting Styles:

Oil – applies a combination of short dabs and longer brushstrokes to produce the color and texture of oil paint

Impressionist – applies short and very visible brushstrokes to create the illusion of movement and light

Modern – applies bold brushstrokes and adds vibrance to colors to produce an abstract reinterpretation of a photo

Illustration – applies a wide variety of brushstrokes to produce an illustration-style painting

Detailed Watercolor – applies a translucent wash to produce the smooth, soft effect of watercolor paint on your photo

Watercolor Sketch – applies a combination of drawn lines and watercolor brushstrokes that add depth, texture and contrast

Colored Pencil – applies fine-tipped colored pencil strokes

Pencil – applies graphite pencil strokes that appear to be drawn by hand

Pen and Ink – applies sketchy strokes with a pen and black ink that appear to be drawn by hand

Pastel – applies colored pastel strokes that appear to be drawn by hand
