ArtRage for Android will launch at the same time on the Samsung GALAXY Apps for purchase by users of selected Samsung Galaxy mobile products.
ArtRage creates realistic artwork on-the-go without appearing computer generated
ArtRage provides detailed paint blending and texture, using a simulation of natural artistic tools that work seamlessly with the advanced features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4’s S Pen to enable users to create realistic artwork on-the-go. Artists can use ArtRage on the Samsung Galaxy mobile platform to share their artwork via popular artist communities and social media sites, like PEN.UP, deviantArt, Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr, as well as send art by email or save to Dropbox.

For a limited time ArtRage for Android will be available exclusively from Samsung GALAXY Apps, free for Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge users through Samsung GALAXY Gifts. For other Samsung Galaxy mobile device users, it will also be available at US$4.99. Check GALAXY Apps in your region for details. ArtRage support for additional Android devices is planned for early 2015.
Quotes
Matt Fox-Wilson, creative director and co-founder of Ambient Design Ltd:
“With ArtRage and the S Pen, mobile art can be created without waiting for paint to dry and without carrying a lot of artist’s tools, paints, canvas and paper,”
“ArtRage provides the experience of actually ‘painting’ digitally on a computer canvas with oil paints that smear and blend, and watercolors that flow together to create soft, wet gradations, just as they would in a traditional art studio.”
