    I’m using Tux Paint.

    Has kiddie sound effects, just mute to skip them if needed.

    OH. There is a program called LazPaint that is pretty decent, I forgot I installed it along with the other software when setting up this distro. https://lazpaint.github.io/

    Kolourpaint. Worth even if you don’t use KDE.

      It’s a multimedia specialist distro. Any idea how much of storage kolourpaint occupies ?

        Kolourpaint itself is small; the package is just under 6MB. However it depends on a lot of KDE libraries, so if you don’t have those installed, I’m eyeballing 100MB~200MB.

    Well, I don’t know about latex, but you could probably make a halfway-decent oil-based paint with clay.

    Not sure which oils you should use, but I’m willing to bet there’s quite a few that would be fairly compatible.

      You’re joking ?? I’m referring to the program called paint.

        I was joking.

        Although it did make me wonder about the open sourcedness of paint and paint products for non-computer usage.

    Krita might be more than you’re looking for, but it’s a solid art program.
