Update February 10, 2020: According to Adobe, there are 85 brushes included for free permanently with the base version of Fresco, although the website is quite unclear about how the free tier works, noting that you can only 'start' for free. As someone who doesn't know the first thing about painting, it might be more economical for me to stick with an app like Sketchable, but Fresco is where you'll want to go to take your digital art to the next level without going for full-blown Photoshop. Paint with watercolors that bloom and bleed in real time. Harness the power of Adobe Sensei with live brushes that look, feel, and act just like the real thing. It's also a little odd how Fresco is restricted to a handful of Surface devices, despite the fact it could realistically run on any Windows 10 device with an inking tablet attached.ĭespite the price, if you're specifically into painting, the realism that comes with Fresco's watercolor brushes coupled with the ease of use is tough to beat. Adobe Fresco gives you the world’s largest and most advanced selection of brushes, including thousands from Adobe Photoshop and celebrated master Kyle T. Whether you're a serious digital artist, or merely a beginner like me, the $10 per month asking price for the full suite could get very expensive, very quickly, considering there are far cheaper competitive alternatives.
