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!
Wow, I'm really interested in using photos to create paintings–what an awesome app! I'm an art therapist and am already dreaming up ways I could use this with my clients! Thanks for the post!
Importing photos sounds so cool!

I'd probably try a few portraits of my dogs first. Crazy dog lady here.

I loved this post so much I had to pin it on pinterest! My fiancee and I are getting married next weekend. Right now we are in the middle of a bathroom renovation on a mid-century modern house we bought in February! I am an art hoarder. Right now with the financial limitations I have started making art rather than purchasing it. Needless to say, this tool would be GOLD! Here are examples of art I would love to purchase but using this cool gadget I could just as easily try make my own version:

I would love to create some modern art!
Love the idea of this app! I'm a visual artist and love working in the abstract. I've recently been working in re-creating those 60's vintage vibe abstracts this app would allow me to explore the technique without the commitment of paint :).
Thx for your blog I love it and never miss a day!

I would totally do abstracts… This is kind of amazing… :)
I would love this for my daughters! I would try creating a portrait of the kids!
Ooooo! This is such an awesome giveaway! I would love to play around with abstracts :) :) Thank you!
So much fun…I enjoyed reading about this product so much – I can only imagine how much I would love having one!
Ooohh, WANT! I'd love to be able to recreate photos as painted images. I'm a hobby photographer and would love to take my photos to the next level, especially portraits. There's something so dreamy about an oil or acrylic painted portrait.
Sigh.
The wet paint function has me dreaming of possibilities! I'd love to take a photo I have of the exterior of our house and give it a painterly makeover.
I would love to try an abstract! Thanks!
Florals–à la Lulie Wallace–and abstracts for me. Self-portraits for my elementary Art students!!
I'd either start with some watercolors or work on my some of my travel photos.
Love this technology!
I'm dying to try the Fresh Paint app! I do love abstracts, so I would start there. But we're going to Europe in a few weeks and I would love to use the Wet Paint feature on some of my vacation photos!
When I was 5, my grandpa had a portrait painted of me, which I have since inherited. Looks like this could be a great way to get one of my husband at the same age.
Would love to get creative with importing photos of my four girls.

I'm not a big fan of technology (much to my husband's disappointment)–I'm more of a real paint girl. However, this product had me at the first stroke. I want it! I need it (if we can truly NEED something)! I know exactly what I'd do with it. My four sisters and I are all flying in from around the country to surprise my parents for their anniversary–the first time we've ever all been together without husbands and kids! So, I have a picture of my parents as newlyweds, and that's what I'd love to paint for them. I'm crossing my fingers now! Thanks!
I would love to do a fun abstract with bright colors – I need some big bright pictures to brighten up my drab walls!! Love your examples.
I would love to use it to paint portraits of my family :) Paint is expensive and being able to do some practice work without worrying about wasting supplies would be such a blessing.
I would love no practice some abstract painting. Such a cool product!
I would love to paint my back yard. It's so beautiful in every season that I would love to do a four seasons collage. Thanks for the tips.

Wow- that would be perfect for me! I love painting, especially landscapes and portraits, but being in medical school makes it difficult to find the time to take out all the paints and the easel- not to mention the clean up. I haven't been able to paint in a couple of years, but this would be so relaxing and make it possible for me to be creative without sacrificing too much study time! Thanks for showing us! P.S. love the picture of Grandma!

I'm looking for something to do to relax and get a little creativity back in my life and this app would be perfect. Thanks for sharing! P.S. I love the picture of Grandma!
I would love to create some abstracts and import family photos – my grandmother just turned 99 so combining old pics of her and new ones in an artistic way would be amazing.

I would try to make portraits for sure!
I would try portraiture for sure!
Cat portraits. It would be so much easier to paint the mittens if they only had to wear them long enough for me to take a picture rather than a long portrait session.
I would use it to finally try abstract painting. I have always wanted to do oils but am too intimated. It would also be great to print to fabric since its already digital.
I love the picture you did of your grandma…I have one of my grandpa when he was 3 riding a pony…I would love to try the same thing. But the biggest use would probably be letting my kids be creative…they have the best ideas and I know they would create many masterpieces loved for years to come! Thanks for the opportunity!

I think trying lots of different types of paintings would be fun. I also think my daughter would love it!
This is such a fascinating and cool app! I'd try painting over a photo like you did with your grandmothers photo… it turned out great!
This is a great giveaway!!! I'd definitely like to try my hand at creating abstract watercolor art. I'm kind of obsessed with it right now.
I want to try portraits but I think the import photos is a great way to get started with that.
I would love to win this it looks amazing!
I'm a visual artist and have been dying for a digital sketchbook.

This is so cool! I'd love to try an abstract and also fruit for my kitchen. And one of my dog of course!
Cat portraits, for sure. Thanks!
abstract and this would be great for my son to start painting with

I would love to paint an imported photo. So cool!
Something Cy Twombly-ish.
Abstracts! :)
I would finally paint some family portraits and some abstracts I've been thinking about!
I would try some free hand painting, my daughter has been wanting to paint, so this would be perfect! sweepmorey at gmail dot com
this is so cool. I would certainly make an abstract of this amazing flowered wallpaper (I may have seen it here). It has orange and deep gray flowers. But I think I'd make it blue and taupe to match my living room. I always loved the impressionists, so I'd do one of them too.
Awesome! This may make me give up my beloved iPad! I am interested to see what I can create with the fresh paint app!
