Escher Web Sketch
Not really a paint program, it allows you to draw repeating patterns in the style of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.

This application is a good teaching tool for the illustration of basic crystallography courses.

Good paint program, with most of the options found in shareware programs like Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Don't expect it to be either of the programs listed above (it was written by one person, and it's free) none the less, if you need a paint program and don't have the money for a commercial paint program, this is very good.
