Chore Day, Nov 28, 2020: Laundry, Yard Work, and Rebelle 3

The Corel Painter mixer palette

Today’s chores were standard fare: laundry, vacuuming the house, and doing yard work. The yard work was raking up the leaves that the neighbor’s walnut tree drops into our yard every fall.

The rest of the day I spent testing Rebelle 3, a digital painting app that does a great job of mimicking water color paint. I liked it enough to consider buying it, but my computer, going on seven years old, couldn’t hack it — all 8 threads were pegged at 100% CPU usage. To run Rebelle 3 on my system, I would have to do an upgrade of motherboard, CPU, GPU, and ram. Besides, learning another software system is a distraction. At this point, I’m married to Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, and Corel Painter.
