Art Canvases

The ultra-realistic papers, canvases, and lithography stones are created in cooperation with professionals exclusively for Rebelle software. From the standard watercolor Cold Pressed and Japanese Washi through exotic Yucca and Kapok to Raw and Fine Lithography Stones, these textures will give your digital paintings a traditional touch.

All papers, canvases, and other art surfaces are available to preview directly in Rebelle 8 from the Select Canvas window:

Papers that are not purchased and are available in the preview mode are marked with the Preview icon. These surfaces run on a dedicated layer directly in Rebelle, letting users test them - you can paint, draw, and adjust various texture settings. Saving and exporting is disabled while in preview mode.

You can use the default papers without limits or purchase more papers as add-ons on our website: Browse Rebelle papers.
