Painter has reached ten! The tenth version, that is. Officially known as Corel Painter X, this edition continues to innovate with ground-breaking features. I've always enjoyed the point in software development when all of the elements—the features, packaging, advertising layouts, and all of the associated details—finally come together.

Andrew Jones
Concept artist and educator
"Technology has enabled me to manifest more. The amount of what I believe is inside of me can be exponentially expressed. For instance, with my '1,000 Portraits': if I were to set out and try to create each portrait using traditional media, I'd be lucky if I could get through one of those in one or two days. It was the combination of Wacom and Corel Painter that allowed me to manifest on such a level."
In the next Painter Canvas, learn more about Andrew Jones, the artist whose work graces the current Corel Painter X box, in an exclusive interview!
