Tablet PC Techniques :: Blog :: Ink Art

September 21, 2007

In the free Microsoft Experience Pack for Tablet PC is a program called Ink Art 1.3 which is amazing! Our art teacher, Suzy, has been working with her classes on the tablets and Art Ink. She has the students make a  5 X 7 piece that she puts in acrylic stands and uses them as the name plates for where students sit in her class. This year, she decided to make one side of those name plates in the traditional manner and the other side with Ink Art.

Like most "painting" programs, Ink Art has a palette of tools and a palette of colors. But unlike other programs, when you stroke with the paint brush in Ink Art, what appears on the canvas has depth and "consistency". You can see the brush stokes! And you run out of paint in your brush at a certain point in the stroke. You can use the palette knife to pull the paint from that stroke or lay on a different color and blend the two.

The other tools behave similarly appropriately.
