The Maximum: 5 Butterflies

Hi All...
I was working yesterday in my hermitage, developing a soft in OS/2 Warp environment, when my Eudora running in another machine, on Windows XP Professional+Service Pack 1 sounds a bip: an e-mail from Brian, developer of NaturePainter, inviting me to evaluate his soft. Yeah, I'm ever curious of digital painters and quickly I downloaded the full version. I installed this fine piece of software on my machine and using it, in just five minutes, I created the digital landscape above. Converted in a painting printed on a real canvas, I added its photo on my Art Gallery (Frater Velado's Art Gallery), where you can see it, including in the original size. Interested? Simply click the image above an that is all. At this time I'm not needing money, but the current price of a canvas of my Art Gallery is only U$ 25,000 USD.

Well, if you are really interested in become a painter, I encourage you, sincerely, to try NaturePainter, in order to enter in the world of Art using a very modern brush - digital, of course. Several tools for digital painting exist currently available on the Net and I suppose that Adobe Photoshop is the most used. Some people, as Da Vinci (Phrozen Crew founder) from Insane Creators Enterprises have entered the Nirvana as a Master of Photoshop. If you are interested in very special tuts on Photoshop, visit Da Vinci's Gallery, dude, and enjoy it. Interested, uh? In this case simply click the button below.

Yeah, I'm ever encouraging people to become an artist!! Well, my son, if you are really interested in became an artist I encourage you to buy quickly NaturePainter. This soft is very simple and intuitive, you need not any experience on this matter: simply install it, start using it and...if you have any talent I believe that you will create a nice painting in few minutes. NaturePainter runs fine on Windows XP Professional, don't sucks excessive CPU resources of a great amount of RAM as other digital painters. The canvas created using NaturePainter can be saved as a *.bmp file of, if you prefer, as a *.jpg. But note that only the registered version of this nice shareware can saves images created: in the trial version this task is not possible (sorry, but it is the rule of the game...).

NaturePainter have a fine Tutorial built-in; using this feature the soft itself will transform you in an expert in digital paintings. Step by step this tut instruct the user in the Art of paint. If you are a persistent person, easy...in few minutes you will not become exactly an initiate, but I'm sure that you will create a decent image. Persist, using your insights, and soon you will be a painter!! Nature is just the right theme for all people interested in produce canvas, physical or digital. With a real brush is more difficult...but using a digital brush you are opening the doors for a new future to you; in this future you can become a painter using a real brush...

NaturePainter is powerful, yet very easy to use. It is packed with helpful tutorials and features such as real-time paint rendering engine, different paint brushes and paint tools, a realistic paint mixer / palette, and an inspiration button and sample galleries to help jump start your creativity.

NaturePainter is perfect for both creation of Art pieces, and recreation. The release of NaturePainter comes as the world deals with more and more economic, political and cultural turmoil. But for the NaturePainter team, the timing was very appropriate. “People are taking time now, more than ever, to look away from their stock portfolios (we know ours is hard to look at!), and look toward themselves and their families. Many people feel that Art is an important part of healing and self-discovery. We hope that in some small way NaturePainter can help.”
