The Apple Pencil works beautifully with Fresco, as the depth of the watercolours and oil paints fluctuates ever so naturally, in accordance with how much pressure is applied with the Pencil.

Finally, artists will be able to create traditional art that was simply not possible in real life, with the full flexibility of reversibility. That means users can mix and blend infinitely, or even create a new layer when you prefer not to have the colours mix. The beauty of this is, the paints and oils will always be “wet” and never “dry up” like in real life. Powered by Adobe Sensei, the app’s oil paint and watercolour brushes are able to bloom and react with each other in real-time. which is capable of mimicking the way paint would mix and blend in real life. The app’s key selling point is its unique AI-driven Live Brushes. The result is a simplified and streamlined app interface with a strong focus on its drawing and painting tools, allowing users control of every part of the app with a combination of touch and the use of Apple Pencil. Adobe went back to the drawing board and completely reworked how their tools could provide professional-level features for its users on the go. Adobe might just have the right dose of features on their hands to sway users of the current industry favourite, Procreate.Īdobe Fresco was conceived as a love letter for Adobe’s users and community. We got our hands on the pre-release version of Adobe Fresco and all we can say is, painting while on the go will never be the same again. This is where Fresco comes in to replicate the organic interactions of traditional paint tools such as chalk, oils and watercolours. Once the plaster was dry, there was no turning back to make changes to the art piece. Fresco, which means fresh in Italian, is named after the centuries-old Italian Renaissance painting technique of applying water-based pigments to wet plaster.
