So many of you mentioned yesterday that you were dying to get your hands on the Fresh Paint app yourself. Well, here’s your chance! The Fresh Paint team provided me with a tablet with the Windows 8 software, a keyboard dock (making your tablet basically a fully functioning laptop), and a really cool stylus brush to give away so you can create your own masterpieces in Fresh Paint.
So to enter to win the tablet, keyboard and brush stylus, please leave a comment on this post, sharing what type of painting projects you’d try with the Fresh Paint app. Abstracts? Portraits? Hoping to import a photo in using the “wet paint” function? Feel free to link to inspiration images. We’d love to see!
***This just in! CanvasPop is throwing in a free 12×18 custom canvas print of your masterpiece as part of the give away. How’s that for sweetening the pot? :)
Contest ends Sunday May 5 at midnight. I’ve opened up the comments to allow for unregistered users. The winner will be emailed so please be sure to leave you email address if you’re not signed in. Good luck!
I, too, would like to use it to paint over old black and white photos. My email address is greenwok@yahoo.com. Thanks!
I would love to import a pic of my grandmother and use the wet paint app. Would also love to do some abstracts! Jencab114@htomail.com
I think I'd be starting with abstracts, and working my way up the representative scale as I got the hang of it.
I love the Fresh Paint app. I try it out every time I go to Best Buy. I would use it on family photos.
Hi Jenny, love your blog! I have always wanted to do a painting of the morning light coming in through my living room windows and hang it in between those very same two windows. i think this might just be the way to do it…..
I'm new at painting and this would be a great way to improve my skills! I'd love to import vintage images and paint or do abstract! It'd be pretty cool to import a vintage portrait and paint everything except the face…that should be a neat effect– vintage meets abstract!
I want to "paint" a few beautiful landscapes from last summer's vacation pics. :)
I love the idea of doing portraits! I think this is so cool!
Wow! Would love to create abstracts this way! I've especially been wanting to do some stylized landscapes showing southern marshes.
Fingers crossed!
I would love to try a painting of the first house my husband and I lived in. Thanks!
I love this, but have no artistic ability, so I would probably use it to import photos and make them look like paintings. Or draw some seriously awesome stick figures :)
I would love this. I have wanted to paint, but am a bit intimidated by it all. This would be a great way to try. I'd love to try painting over an old photo, but would like to experiment in abstract as well. What a great app and a great giveaway.
I would love to make a painting of the first house my husband and I ever lived in.
Would love to try an Abstract
Love to do abstracts and portriats of my kids.
I would love to paint with my kids! This is too cool!
I do a lot of photography and constantly think some of the photos would be lovely as paintings, I just don't have the time to paint them. Photoshop just doesn't do this well. This could make those images in my head so much easier to come to life. Yay, I want one!
I would love to try landscapes. Thank you!!
I'd definitely try my hand at abstracts.

I would mix it up. Try my hand at abstract and then take on a landscape painting. I love that this app is out there for us nonartist to dabble with painting.
I absolutely loved your painting and I would love to have the tools to make one of my own! Fingers crossed!
Also, I had an experience entirely inspired by this blog. Frustrated with the cost of patio furniture, I cruised craigslist and found a $15 set of wrought iron table and four chairs. We sanded down the rust spots, primed and painted with Rustoleum and Ta Da! fabulous set for about $25 including paint! Thanks for the inspiration!
I would love to do some pattern repeats and then have them printed onto fabric via a company like spoonflower… wouldn't that be fab!?
just bought a condo and i need some art! some landscapes would be ideal
all of the above! so excited about this!
would love to try an abstract or even landscapes!
would love to try an abstract. We don't have any abstract art in our house and I think we need some!
I think it would be cool to try to make some "painted" patterns to print onto fabric. This looks incredible!
I would love to try a little bit of everything, but especially portraiture. Thanks!!
I would LOVE to try to paint portrait and silhouette! I was never really into art but recently I have discovered that I am pretty good at it and the "art genes" weren't just in my siblings! I would love to practice more and use it to decorate my house!!!
That is super cool. Does it let you choose the medium and such to practice more realistic painting techniques?
I would love to import pictures of my kids and do some portraits of them.
I would love to try my hand/stylus at some still lifes. Such a cool app!
I think if I won this giveaway, my house would never get cleaned again! I'd be too content to sit on the sofa "painting!" I would love to try my hand at an abstract horse painting, much like this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/125066062/original-acrylic-abstract-painting-of-a?ref=market
I would love to paint pictures of my dogs and garden.

What a fun give away!
I have a few ideas I want to try:
Pixelated abstract
Using the app to paint over a photograph
still life of bright flowers
Thanks for sharing!
I would love to try abstracts.
I would be most excited to see what my 4yo would create!
i would go nuts with abstracts! i have lots of people in my life who have way too much empty wall space and so i think i'd be set with gifts for several years to come!
such a great giveaway! i'd definitely try some abstracts.
Awesome! I would love to try out some landscapes (or maybe abstracts if landscapes are too hard…?)
I would use it for all of the above! The possibilities are endless. Thank you for the great giveaway.
Oh wow, I would absolutely love to try my hand at some abstracts. I love big brushstrokes of bold, saturated colors and it would be so neat to make my own creations!
What possibilities! I've never done abstract, but I'd love to try my hand at one for my office wall. I love playing with color.
I would love to be able to do the photo upload and then paint over it. My husband's family recently gifted us some pictures of his great grandparents who immigrated from Holland, and it would be fun to decorate with them!
Thanks!

Oh my goodness this is the coolest! I've recently been obsessed with trying to build up my art collection, but have been struggling to find art that really speaks to me. Maybe this would allow me to create art that I know I would love–and printing it would be so cheap!! I would definitely experiment with abstracts and importing photos. jessicajhartshorn@gmail.com
What an awesome app!!! Didn't know it existed! Thanks for sharing. Would love to try a portrait of my boys:)

floral prints are always my go to!
How exciting! I love what you did by importing photos and painting overtop… my real-life painting skills are nowhere as good as yours, but this seems like a fun way to get better!
I would love to do abstracts and definitely portraits of my boy!
