My Review: This product is great, and it is easy to use.  It comes with a Quick Start Guide that walks you through the features, and within seconds I was able to create my first painting.  It was so easy, I think children would love this program too.  There are several styles that the program can create.  They include Oil, Impressionist, Modern, Illustration, Watercolor Sketch, Detailed Watercolor, Colored Pencil, Pencil Drawing, Pen and Ink, and Pastel.  I was very impressed with how this program could take a picture and really create ART!

Here is my first painting.  I chose the watercolor setting.
