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 would love to try to convert some of my old family photos to abstract paintings. I loved the one you did of your grandmother yesterday. Fingers crossed!
I would love the chance to make a few abstracts to fill my very very blank walls! Thanks for the giveaway! allyson(dot)dobberteen(at)gmail(dot)com
abstracts! amazing giveaway!
I so love your portrait idea. There is the cutest photo of my grandmother as a toddler that I think would look great as a painting!
i would love to paint patterns for fabric.
I would love to try this on old family pictures, especially black and white ones of my grandparents like you did. Thanks for this giveaway!
This app looks amazing. I would love to try it and paint some abstract creations.

I love the abstract that you created- that would likely be the first thing I would attempt.
How/ Where do you get these printed? They look beautify on the computer- but how do they hold up in real life viewing?
Would love to win to try out for myself!
i would like to try some design work. a bit more controlled than an abstract.
I would love to start with some floral paintings. My 12 year old daughter would love it too. Thanks!

I would LOVE to do portraits of my two little guys (3.5 and 18 months). Lord knows I have taken a gazillion photos of them and I feel like this tool could help me make them into frame-worthy treasures for our family for years to come!
Abstract for me. And my boys (and I) would go nuts with the endless possibilities!

I've been so inspired by my dad learning to paint, mainly with watercolors, late in his life. All of the art in my room is his – it's such a treasure.
I'd love to have something like this to learn to paint sailboats, which were his favorite.
I would love to do abstracts with lots of color! So cool!

Who wouldn't want to try their hand at painting a master piece, I love it!
I definitely would love to do the painting over a picture option. (Also my husband has been dying for a windows 8 tablet so I would love to win it for him…and then steal it to use the painting app)
I'd love to make some abstracts!
abstract for sure! I love that you got yours printed! So special!
Wow looks amazing. I've always wanted to do some art classes. Recently done some basic abstract things but would love to try some ocean landscape type paintings.
What wouldn't I try!? I have such a limited space for actually creating art that this looks so perfect for trying all sorts! I would love to try my hand at abstracts and also what you did with painting over an existing portrait! LOVE IT!
I've been traveling for a solid five years now, and I would love to turn some of my favorite travel photographs into paintings! I also used to do a lot of "real paint" abstracts, and I want to give it another go.
portraits of my kids!!
Very Cool! I would upload some photos and paint away!
I would love this! I'm a cancer biologist and am always looking for fun ways to improve presentations and posters. My amazing fluorescent cells would make incredible art.
I've painted a few abstract city scapes lately… would love to try them without having to drag out all my paints :) Thank you!
No doubt I'll be painting my cats….!
I have been traveling for a solid five years, and I would love to turn some of my favorite travel photos into paintings to display if i ever settle down!
Would love to use this to make some portraits of my family!
I would love to try this with photos of my new baby Oliver!
Oh my! I would paint tons of things, still life's, portraits, abstracts… That wet paint photo alteration feature looms amazing, so many creative possibilities for any age of creative level. Great job Microsoft….
Love the photograph you did and will likely start there.
love to try this on some design bits.
I would love to import photos!
Love the photo of your grandma and I think I'd start with something like that.
It would be fun to try all different things with this app. Abstract and using your own photos. Lighthouse, boat, sailboat :)
Abstracts have been on my list of things to do. Would love to try it on this app.
It is my birthday on the 5th, so this would be a fun present! I would paint abstractions of color and also share it with my amazingly artistic middle schooler.

Pic of my puppy (who's three next month lol)
I would love to try impressionist like Monet. With summer happening, I would love to sit out on the waterfront and paint the light.
I'd love to try my hand at abstracts and this app seems like the perfect way to test the waters before buying gobs of expensive supplies. Very cool!
I definitely want to try the wet paint feature – I am not much of an artist (understatement) but I think that if I could import a picture and paint over it, even I could pull off something that looks good!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Abstracts and portraits! Love this!!!
