Inspired by the old romanticism (‘romantica’) of Parisian and New York bistros where the bistro was ‘the’ meeting place for everything, the interior is gorgeous and cosy, the lighting is perfect and the staff are delightful. “We want to be open for a long time,” Sarah tells me as I sat down to one of my favourite nights of feasting in recent history. With the recent closure of Mount Lawley faves Clarences, Five Bar, Cantina 663 and Harvey Leigh’s to name just a few, the opening of Le Rebelle is a breath of much-needed fresh air for locals and those in search of a modern take on the traditional French bistro. Taking up residence at the old Circa site opposite The Astor Theatre on Beaufort Street, to say it’s a welcome addition to Mount Lawley is a massive understatement. On a recent Thursday night, Le Rebelle (‘rebel’ in French) was absolutely buzzing. Given their impressive resume of restaurants (Lalla Rookh, Miss Kitty’s Saloon, Kitsch Bar, Ku De Ta, Star Anise, Print Hall), when word spread that they were opening up an intimate restaurant and wine bar in Mount Lawley, we were very excited. A joy to use.Perth restaurant industry veterans Sarah and Liam Atkinson are no strangers to the running of a damn good business. Some of the effects are truly mind boggling from a programming perspective. It's still not exactly like applying physical pigments, but this is the closest experience we've seen. With Rebelle however, the painting effects are so believable and naturalistic that it does truly feel as if you are interacting directly with the canvas' surface.Īlmost everything has been thought of, allowing you to tailor your canvas, brushes and paints to create exactly what effect you need.

With any painting or drawing software there will be a slight disconnect between the user and their work, since they are creating brush strokes through a processor - "by wire" as it were.

The programmers clearly know what both professional users of technology and artists want and need, and they have successfully integrated these elements.
Overall Rebelle is a very well thought-through piece of software, which is clearly built by experienced artists. The experience is very like using 'real' oil paints on a physical surface. Sunset valley - using Rebelle's oil brushes it was possible to produce life-like colours and blending. These create depth to the image and it really does feel like looking at ridges and troughs in the pigment surface. Handily there are brushes for producing both thin and thick paint application, allowing the user to introduce impasto effects. One of the biggest updates with Rebelle 4 was the introduction of oils and realistic oil brush effects. Once again Rebelle delivers and generally the brushes accurately represent the range of strokes one can achieve with physical materials. The latter is exceptionally fun but also has real functional applications. It also opens up a tremendous array of creative possibilities, taken even further by the Blow Tool. This is easy to control and produces life-like effects. You can select from options including Transparent, Opaque and Semi-opaque, which adds to the realistic impression of how light impacts the appearance of overlapping areas.Ī stand out feature is the "DropEngine" which simulates wet paint running across a tipped surface. To further push the versatility of the watercolor tools Rebelle allows the user to choose how paints mix. The 'wet' effect is highly convincing, as is the way a drop of wet paint bleeds across the surface and begins to be absorbed.
