RealBristle Painting System: RealBristle brush variants bring an
unprecedented level of realism to the digital painting experience by simulating
the natural movement of an artist’s brush. The RealBristle brushes are based on
individual brushes from other categories, but their Natural-Media capabilities
are enhanced so you can better control how the bristles interact with the canvas
and the paint. You will find RealBristle brush variants in the Acrylics, Blenders,
Chalk, Conte, Digital Watercolor, Erasers, Oils, Pastels, Pencils, Pens, Real
Watercolor, and Sumi-e brush categories.
