The Fine Art Software Company

Artellmedia™ Inc.

Artellmedia Inc. provides an innovative software product and resources that are tailor made for artists who paint, visual art students, and those who teach visual art.

Our Vision and Approach

The founder of Artellmedia Inc. is both an artist and a software engineer with experience in computer imaging technology that spans nearly 20 years. For us, it is important to have a unique mix of "artist" and "computer imaging" talent at the software design and engineering level. It gives us a unique insight into both technical and creative aspects of visual art.

The computer brought unprecedented opportunities during the last 20 years and, in our view, many opportunities have been missed. So a few years ago we set out to build what we envisioned to be the "Artist's Dream Tools"... a software technology for fine art. These tools would be used for interactive art instruction and composition.

Instead of building just another "photo-editing" tool, we began first by taking a good look at the whole creative process, including the "painting" mediums as well as the "high-tech" mediums. We also considered the teaching process and the art reproduction process. With that perspective in mind, the conceptual framework and plan for an artist friendly technology for teaching and composition was born... and development began. In November 2002, we released our "first generation" consumer level product for artists called LightStudio.

Our Technology Today

Artellmedia is "real time art media". The technology is founded upon an intuitive color technology called RealTime CST™ ("Real Time" Color Study Technology). It forms the foundational framework for software tools and resources used in teaching art and composing art using your home computer.

Our Product Today

Artworks Basic has a proven track record of stability which spans more than 4 years now. The software was originally published under the product names "LightStudio" and "ColorNotes". Both product names are now retired.

Since 1991...

Artellmedia Inc. is a small, privately owned Canadian company that was originally incorporated in March of 1991 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax is not far from the world famous... Peggy's Cove, N.S. At the time, the company provided software development and computer imaging consulting services.

In November 2002, under the business name Artclass Technologies Inc., the company released its "first generation" software product for consumer artists called "LightStudio".

In August 2004, the "second generation" software called "Artist ColorNotes" was released with shipments to Australia, Canada, Europe, Mexico, United Kingdom, and the United States.

In November 2004, the name "Artclass Technologies, Inc." was no longer appropriate for the business that has emerged. We had evolved beyond teaching applications to include composition and computer imaging. In December 2004 we changed the company name to Artellmedia Inc. and restructured the operation during the early months of 2005.

In May 2005, the company released a "third generation" software product called "Artworks Basic". We provide payment options in 6 different currencies and ship to more than 20 countries around the world.
