MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it. MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting.

Changes since 1.2.0

• Fix failure to start under GLib 2.48.
• Fix failure to start when config and user data dirs are missing.
• GNOME: Update mypaint.appdata.xml.
• Fix failure to start when no translations are present.
• Fix pure-black being duplicated in the colour history.
