Zooming, too, is very helpful if you don't like painting by sweeping your mouse over the entire area to catch all the teensy numbered spots. The Hint is handy-dandy and no recharge time is involved. I really like the color wheel for changing the background and numbered areas. We need them to bring more life to the paintings and to add more interest. I painted one from each level and found very few bright, lovely colors. Beyond the first level I did find some beautiful images but again I have an issue with the palette. Brown skies, off-colored flowers and fruit, black and murky green landscapes just aren't appealing to me. I agree that they are natural, unlike in other paint games but they aren't adding much beauty. So many blacks, browns, greys and dark murky greens. There is still the over-use of dark colors. They, in my opinion, don't qualify as pieces of art. I find no fun in painting a camera, suitcase, desk globe, pocket watch, car or locomotive. Modern Art still has too much fruit, too many boring images. It was like having a magic wand, "Abracadabra", it's done! Absolutely no challenge, even in the most complex images. The camera was ugly and I hated painting it. The adorable kitten with great shading and texture, and the mountain scene saved the first level from being a total disappointment. Nothing New I no longer buy Modern Art but still check out the demoes. In this issue I can actually hear the nature sounds without having to turn the volume up from where I have it set for the music! Thank you!Īll in all, as long as I ignore and don't get all grumblely about the lack of happy Spring colors and joyful themes, Modern Art 12 was a good purchase that will give me hours of excellent play time. The still lifes and landscapes are handled in an intriguing way, not the colors I was expecting, The artist's adventures into different color combos are always fascinating for me.Īnd another thing.

#ART GAMES FOR MAC PLUS#
It was a joy to paint.Īnother plus - we have fewer food scenes in this issue. Among other critters, in this issue we have a grand old turtle.
#ART GAMES FOR MAC PATCH#
While Art by Numbers brings us satiny harlequin and patch quilt beasties, Modern Art delights us with true to life animals, detailed down to the feather tips and each point of fur. One, a lone Autumn tree, is done in shades of gray, mauve, and you'll have to see the rest of it for yourself. ON THE PLUS SIDE, the themes are very interesting, even engrossing. No option for those of us who have been doing this for yonks. And, sigh, even after purchase all images are held hostage until we complete the 8 images on page 1 as a tutorial. Fall has arrived, and with it comes the artist's favorite grays and browns. INTERESTING NEW COLORS.But not a lot of blue sky.
