# Painting & Illustration
Professional digital painting + illustration, powered by Krita.
## How it runs
Krita is a Qt/KDE desktop app — no web build. Streamed via KasmVNC; natively preferred. **Stylus + pressure sensitivity does not survive the KasmVNC round-trip** — for tablet work, install the native osFoundry desktop client.
## Features
- 100+ brushes with stabilisers + smudging
- Animation timeline + onion skinning
- Wrap-around mode (seamless textures)
- Vector layers + text
- Comic / manga tools (panel templates, speech bubbles)
- OpenColorIO + 16-bit + HDR painting
- Python scripting
- Resource manager (download brush packs from KritaArt)
## Streaming caveat
Pressure-sensitive stylus input is **lost** through KasmVNC — Krita sees mouse-equivalent input only. Use the native client when stylus work matters.
