iPastels School/Office Edition for PC and Mac

1. When painting, especially with soft pastels, use Smudge or the Cotton Swab to blend and smoothen the colors right on the paper, as you would in real life.

2. Painting tools include soft pastels, oil pastels, pastel pencils, smudge tool, and more.

3. This app lets you enjoy all the iPastels features without any in-app purchases or additional downloads, making it ideal for use with Microsoft School Manager, or for anyone who has restricted the use of in-app purchases on their device.

4. You can also try out ideas and compositions before starting on a new painting in real life, or practise and refine your skills, all without the added cost of art supplies.

5. With oil pastels, in addition to smudging, the blending is often done by the pastel sticks themselves (for best results, reduce the force or use a similar or lighter color).

6. When creating a new picture, a unique, non-repeating paper texture is generated that will interact in real-time with the live-calculated strokes you paint.

7. The app features live-calculated brushes and strokes, making a realistic pastel simulation possible.

8. Use any buttons or controls to change/adjust color, size, force, simultaneously while painting.

9. A painting app for all artists, whether you’re experienced or just starting out.

10. When you paint, the app measures how much of your finger is touching the screen and changes the stroke size accordingly.

11. Perfect for creating beautiful works of art or a quick sketch whenever and wherever you have a burst of inspiration.
