Can anybody give a recommendation? What would be the best Free tool for a kid interested in Modern Art [1] (generally abstract, she likes the works of Wassily Kandinsky and Mark Rothko, for example), who'd like to learn to do something like that digitally? Is Krita good for that?
Krita has a lot of brush effects she would be able to use (like oil, chalk, watercolor) however you want to use a graphics tablet to use it in a natural and intuitive manner.
Thanks! Can you recommend a nice tablet with a quality display? She's obsessed with colors, color-mixing, tones, shades, etc., so I think a display with a broad and accurate gamut is a must-have for artists.
There is a list of supported tablets on the Krita website. I think Wacom and Huion are the most popular. Wacom is mainstream and well supported but more expensive.
I use a laptop with a 16" pen enabled 4k display. Works like a champ, and is super portable... and folds into a tablet for even better drawing ergonomics.
I highly recommend ArtRage. It works and feels like the real world and is very intuitive. The trial version is only limited to not being able to save, otherwise $40 very well spent.
