Today we take a look at 5 different paint app for mac; whether you are someone who has been missing MS Paint on Mac OS or just looking for a basic painting app, this list is for you.

While I was on the hunt for a paint app, Preview managed to seriously surprise me with its capabilities.

Next show the Markup Toolbar by the clicking the icon shown below.

You also get the ability of adding a signature or signing your PDFs from Preview itself, image size formatting and text formatting options.

The app is quite bare bones and extremely easy to use, offering just the basic functions of a paint application.

It offers all the basic functionalities just as MS paint like pencil, colour fill, shapes, text, magnification and also a colour picker tool which comes in very handy.

It also supports most image formats including JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF and GIF.

While the UI might seem a little dated, the app has a lot of tricks up its sleeves which makes it an upgrade to Preview or Paint Brush.

SeaShore introduces the concept of layers, just like you have in Photoshop.

The layers work like sheets of acetate stacked upon each other and the transparent areas allow you to see through to the underbidding layers.

Some other features include alpha channel editing, texts with sub pixel rendering and textures.

Play On Mac is a third party tool built on Wine, which we recommend for installing Windows applications on Mac OS.

Just download Play On Mac and all the dependencies required for Wine and then you should be able to install any Windows app of your choice.

To install Paint, go to Install Apps Graphics Paint and hit download.

MS Paint should be installed on your computer and it works just as good on any Windows PC.

So we recommend this method if you are someone who is planning on using more Windows apps on your Mac or just cannot do without MS Paint.

As I said, by no means should Pixelmator be considered a basic app as it is far from that, having a boatload of options, effects and features.

It also has retouching tools, colour correction tools and a real-time effects machine along with all the drawing and brushing tools.

It even sports iCloud support and the ability to publish your pictures directly to social media.

The app is not at all overwhelming even for a beginner and strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and productivity.

But before downloading any third party app, we highly recommend checking out Preview and checking whether it fulfills all your needs or not.

Paint Brush is an awesome simple and easy to use paint application while Seashore is slightly more complex with the addition of layers.
