The interface is deliberately minimalistic and fully controllable with keyboard shortcuts. MyPaint was created with the goal of being one of the simplest and fastest painting programs in existence. In later MyPaint versions, the engine was broken out into the separately maintained libmypaint library to make it easier to integrate into other applications. MyPaint has a custom procedural brush engine optimized for use with pressure-sensitive graphic tablets. It’s easy to make expressive, artful new brushes that don’t respond like anything conventional. The standard brushes can emulate traditional media like charcoal, pencils, ink, or paint. Its brush engine is versatile and configurable, and it provides useful, productive tools. It supports graphics tablets made by Wacom, and many similar devices. MyPaint is a nimble, distraction-free, and easy tool for digital painters.

MyPaint is available for Microsoft Windows, OSX, and Linux. MyPaint is free and open source raster graphic editor for digital painters with a focus on painting rather than image manipulation or post processing.
