ade

It was great for painting.
But after some time painting( half hour to an hour ) evrything started behaving heavy, slower.
I also found that after the painting time, and after closing AP, the whole system acted up somewhat.
After restarting my iMac, everything went back to normal.
 
But all in all, a fun job to do.Though I have some personal troubles with the likeness, I am interested in painting some more stuff in AP.
Great work ,and congratzz to the programming team.
 
I intend to place all my paintings in this topic, to save up the space of the forum.
