MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.

Features:

• exists for several platforms
• supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
• extensive brush creation and configuration options
• unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
• basic layer support

MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting.

The source code downloads for Linux are available at the developer´s website.

What's New in version 1.0.0:

• A configurable toolbar has been added with dropdown widgets for colour, brush, and brush settings.
• Floating tool windows can now be docked into a sidebar inside the main window.
• A 'Lock Alpha' mode has been added for brushstrokes, and there are now some basic layer compositing modes.
• Mouse and stylus buttons can be bound to different actions via the preferences.
• There’s a new scratchpad tool which can be used for thumbnails, notes, or recording brushstrokes and colour choices.
• Finally, there have been numerous little improvements and bugfixes to MyPaint’s speed, user interface, and its brush collections.
