I would recommend this ArtRage software to any artist, of any age and any skill level. It appears so simple and fun, even your kid could finger paint with it happily. The interface stays out of your way nicely and has a smooth learning curve. Yet it has so many features for professional artist too. Nothing to hold you back. Acts like real paints, oils, pencils, a canvas and art tools. The more you use it, the more you find!
