Beta Review: Meritum Paint Pro for iPad
A little while ago Performita, suggested that i try the app Meritum Paint Pro on my iphone. I took to it immediately. I love the organic nature of it’s painting engine. You can choose from three brushes, or better, styles of painting: Normal, Neon or Sci-Fi. You don’t really control them, so much as guide them through a series of happy accidents.
I have been lucky enough to try the ipad version of the app in Beta, and i can tell you that it’s a whole new ball game. The larger screen combined with the more powerful CPU means more detail and more fun.
My son and i calculated that it could take simultaneous input from 10 fingers at once, just in case you ever need it.
The user interface of Meritum Paint is a little unusual but adds to the mysterious nature of the creations you will make on it. Randomness is buit-in.
Choose a color palette, brush width, the force and tilt that you would like to be exerted, and start painting. It’s kind of magical.
Although i love the app i do not consider myself a Meritum Paint purist. I like to import my Meritum work into Brushes and elaborate it. My favorite brush is “Sci-Fi”, which allows you to noodle Gigerish tubes that intertwine and can apear to be pipes, tentacles or feathers.
I am not finished experimenting with this app and I am looking forward to seeing where Krunoslav Till and the Meritum Soft development team take it.
Thanks Perf!

Thank You Matthew for showing us what great art can be made with Meritum Paint Pro and some other Painting apps. I can paint for hours just in Meritum paint pro, but somehow I always end up importing it to Brushes for final touch. 🙂
Wonderful review

Thanks Davitt, thanks Perf your praise means a lot to me.
Perf, I think it’s great that Meritum can be so gratifying to skilled artists like your self and also to beginners.
Thanks again.
