Expresii is officially launched

Expresii currently focuses on mimicking Eastern ink painting/calligraphy only. Eastern ink is similar to but not  exactly like Western watercolor.  e.g.  a drop of  watery paint  on most Eastern painting  paper s would absorbed and spread out immediately; on Western watercolor paper the drop would just sit there without spreading.

For long-time digital painters, picking up Expresii requires some mind-shifting or getting used to:

•  Paint with a Gradient -  In contrast to traditional paint apps, picking up of colors in Expresii is pressure-sensitive.  The harder you press, the color  goes more into the tuft. This way, you can get a multi-color loading similar to how you do it in real-life Eastern ink painting. Expand your skill set by learning to  use the side of the brush to paint with a gradient instead of one color at a time.
• Economy of Strokes  -  Try to reduce the number of strokes you make.  More for less.  In Expresii, we make it possible to appreciate even one individual stroke.  
• Rhythm is Everything -  in some  paint apps,  you may be  stamping  scanned  bitmaps of real  strokes.  At an extreme,  this is close  to  how a designer works where you position design elements to form a composition .  In Expresii, we want to promote another way of painting -  one that  is almost like a   record of the movement of the brush driven by your hand.  It's gestural.  It's more like  a  serendipity where you can't create the exact same thing twice.
• Choice and Chance - You  make some strokes  and let the wet ink  do its thing.   It's not just  simple put-that-color-there thing.  The ink reacts to your action and   could inspire your next stroke.  
• Limited layers -  Currently Expresii  only supports two layers.  We'll  add support for more layers in the future. In the meantime,  the Snap-Down (rasterizing) to  Underlay  acts as a  temporary    solution when you run out of layers.
