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!
Abstracts! Loved your post yesterday and the painting you posted today. Great way to get creative and no mess!
I would love to import photos of our pooches :) Think they would look so sweet in the kids bath!
I would love to try my hand at abstracts, but the imported photos part seems amazing for those of us without those artistic skills! Thanks for the opportunity!

The website hosts a variety of return print to choose from. A decals is placed on paper, instead of in the future. print books are expensive; they can't compete with e-books for pricing.
custom stickers A selection of zebra labels, try looking online. print are also meant to reflect the base of the sticker and remember what you told them.
I'm a sculptor so I would use the app to do digital renderings of my sketches for 3D work. So fun!
I would try painting a little bit of everything.
I would do portraits of my girls. I miss getting to oil paint and this would be so fun!
Would absolutely love to have this and would go for abstracts and for fun art with my children!

I would love to play with textures, styles, and coloring with the fresh paint app! The whole process looks like so much fun, thanks for sharing!
I would go for old family photos like the one you did of grandma Johnson! My grandma was Swedish too, and I would love to paint her weddingphoto which is hanging in my bedroom.. Other than that I'd live to make paintings of my trips to NYC and Paris with my man! ;)
This is AMAZING! I would like to try a family portrait or…… a pic of my boys (2 sweet labs). Thanks for the opportunity:)
I love how your portrait of your grandma turned out, but I suspect I'd have better luck with abstracts, that way it doesn't have to "look like anything." Though, with that trick you showed us about painting over an imported photos even I might be able to make something lovely AND representational!
That's amazing! I cannot believe the texture you can achieve! I'd love to have a go at replicating an impressionist feel – maybe a little bit Monet (probably overreaching here aha!)? Love to try it.

I would love to try painting abstracts. I love vibrant colors and the movement in a lot of abstract paintings.
I would love to try the one where you can paint over a scanned photo!
definitely portraits! thank you for this opportunity :)

Def abstract portraits of my family.
A few people in my family are very artistic,so maybe if I win,I will find out whether or not I can be as creative as they are. I would love to attempt to recreate an old pic of my grandmother for my mom for Mothers Day.

Pop art for sure! And for sharing with my super talented and creative Mama…

I am planning a trip to Iceland next month to attend an art festival. I would love to photograph my trip, do a series of Fresh Paint paintings, then have them printed on canvas and display them in my living room, against my charcoal gray walls.
I would love to make pictures into art. I don't know know that I could do something from scratch but with this I just might try
I'd love to try the fresh paint on an imported photo of my kids, but I'd also like see if I can improve my painting skills (lord knows they could use some improvement.)
Would love to try abstracts!

Cool – would love to try anything!
I love landscapes but am not a talented enough artist to paint something like that on my own. But mayyyyyyyyyybe I could with the Wet paint feature. It would definitely be fun to try!
Cool – would love to try anything!

My artistic skills are nowhere as good as yours, but it would be fun to import an old photo like you did and play around with it!
And, wow. I have never seen so many comments here before. Where did everyone come from?
portraits AND abstracts – working on a gallery wall in my living room!
I love painting figures. This is actually something I've been wanting to get back into. I haven't been feeling well and stress is a factor, so this might be the perfect medicine!
Thanks for the opportunity!
This app is so cool; I would love to try to create some abstracts- a lot like the one you just posted! Love it!

I'd love to try abstracts and import and old B&W photo. Thanks for sharing that idea!!
Abstract, or playing with going over photos.
Oooh, I would love this!! I want to make wall art for my new house.
The question is, what wouldn't I paint. This looks just too fun. I'd probably start with an imported photo of a landscape.
Portraits!
I think creating an abstract painting would be the most creative experiment in the world!
I would love to do all kinds of styles. This would be such a perfect way to learn how to paint
I'd really love to try digital paintings of landscapes and portraits!! I'm a traditional artist, but I've dabbled some in digital art and I've been desperately wanting to try something like this out!!! Paintings like these really inspire me!

Abstracts! And updating or modifying photos sounds fun, too. I have attempted to do some real oil painting recently, but with 2 little ones (and another on the way) dealing with the mess (and the slow dry time!) can be a huge hassle!
I would love to try and import different pictures and create a "travel" gallery wall.
What an awesome giveaway! I would probably start with an abstract or something of my children. Our house is seriously lacking some art on the walls, what a great way to fill them :)
This looks awesome! I would definitely try some abstracts to hang in our new home.

I am currently painting watercolors of clothing, but would love to try it out in oils without the mess. This looks so fun!
would love this to create a portrait of my boyfriend's dog, who recently passed away.
I love the abstracts, but I might try to use this to create family history heirlooms like Jenny did- I think that is so special. it might also be fun to design the cover of a special birthday card or holiday card- I can think of a hundred uses!
