speed can be adapted to everyone’s workflow. Combined with the ability to stop and restart diffusion at any time, huge expressive possibilities arise. The control over painting has improved within Oils as well. Compared to the previous version, Rebelle brushes apply a more adequate amount of impasto, creating much more realistic strokes. Dozens of new flat or round brushes, and palette knives were added. Refreshing colorful strokes are enabled thanks to Dirty Brush and Multicolor Brush modes, which are left with previously used color and mix it with the newly selected colors on the brush. The quick sketching is easier thanks to the new Express Oil tool, which does not have impasto but preserves a natural texture and brush strokes. Incredibly handy is also the time-lapse recording tool. The only step needed to capture your painting process is to press the record button. After finishing the recording, the video will be saved automatically to a selected folder. The software even recognizes when the painter does not make a stroke for a while and pauses the recording. When the next stroke appears, the recording continues. Brilliant! You can take a coffee break and the recording will wait for you. Rebelle 5 comes closer to the roots of traditional techniques, thanks to its variety of tools. The Curve Editor helps to set the specific behavior for size, opacity, and other parameters of each brush. For example, different pencils have unique sizes or hardness. On the other side, the Volume Presets panel helps to effectively change volumes while painting – size, loading, water. All these possibilities are easily accessible, the setup is simple and the user interface is very intuitive. The new Rebelle comes in two editions – Rebelle 5 is offered for $89.99 and Rebelle 5 Pro for $149.99. It is offered with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee and a 50% upgrade discount for existing Rebelle 4 users. As a teacher, I was interested in one additional offer. Escape Motions offers a Rebelle 5 volume license of 20 seats for free to all classrooms and a 40% discount for individual licenses purchased by students and teachers. Teachers can upgrade their classroom volume license to Rebelle 5 Pro for only US $35.99/seat. Truly, there is nothing else standing in the way of creativity.
