Not to be confused with Microsoft Paint.

Microsoft Fresh Paint is a painting app that was developed by Microsoft and was released on May 25, 2012 for Windows and Windows Phone.[1]

History

Fresh Paint originated from a Microsoft Research project known as Project Gustav, an endeavor to reproduce the behavior of physical oil paint on a digital medium.[2] To push the boundaries of simulating oil on a digital medium the research team created a physics model that precisely replicated on a screen what would happen in the real world if you combined oil, a surface and a tool such as a paint brush. Two publications, Detail-Preserving Paint Modeling for 3D Brushes and Simple Data-Driven Modeling of Brushes, were released as a result of the team’s findings.[3][4]

After a variety of internal testing, Project Gustav was codenamed Digital Art.[5] Partnering with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Digital Art was tested for a year by 60,000 people. With feedback culled from MoMA, developers expanded the existing physics model, experimenting with how real oil paint blended and reacted to the texture of a canvas. After final adjustments were made Digital Art was rebranded as Fresh Paint. It was released to the public on May 25, 2012.[1]
