- Recommended mixes don't work for watercolor
Amazing!
I don’t generally leave reviews, but I wanted you to know how incredibly helpful the app is-and to thank you for your YouTube video walk-throughs!!! INCREDIBLE!
It’s Unfortunate
This has the potential to be really useful, however a new user can’t get past the first screen before everything you click on takes you to the purchase screen extremely annoying. Let us try it and appreciate its usefulness. I don’t want to sign up for a free trial let me try even some basic things before we commit to buying it.
I love but add more paint brands
The app is so so great, the only thing i wish is that there were more paint brands and colours on the pallette part, it makes it difficult to use the mixing feature
Could be good but needs refining.
Some good features but there is one underlying problem with this app. I have a fixed palette and have spent a lot of money developing it I don’t want to be recommended lots of different paints rather I want to mix the colours using what I already have. Also colour name is less important than the pigment number …. 2 paints with the same name can be made using different pigment and handle very differently.
Mixed feelings - not geared towards watercolors
This is a great app for understanding composition, values and basic drawing of a reference photo. I am a watercolor artist and would absolutely love this if I could build my palettes based on the pigments I have. Most of the mixes require white to be added which is not generally used in watercolor.
Where have you been
I cannot tell you how fantastic this program is if you’re an artist, I don’t care if you got years behind you or you’re an expert on color this program is absolutely fantastic for helping it to isolate and ascertain exactly what a mix in a color is not to mention the other valuable valuable parts of the app color temperature no tan and my favorite posterized. I don’t know who wrote this program. I love you forever. I would pay you for this program. I’d love to make a donation.
No options for to refuse tracking
The app claims that the following page would show options for tracking and then shows no such page.
Great!
I absolutely love this app! BUT, I am not willing to pay for it monthly or yearly 👎, if there was a one time fee, I’d buy it in a second! It’s that good.👍
Color match was not even close to accurate
The color match/mix feature was the main reason I wanted the app. It was not accurate. I will be canceling.
Watercolour?
Some aspects of this app are truly brilliant but the recommended mixes don’t work for watercolours as they add eg 80%titanium white or a black which is inappropriate for watercolour. Contacted the team but had no reply. Lots of great features though.
Color
So helpful simplifying images for paintings
Great app!
Such a help when I’m stumped by colors…wonderfully easy to navigate and has the added benefit of value studies…
Outstanding!
This is by far the best painting app that I’ve ever used!! It’s a must for artists.
Great app
Thanks so much for creating such a wonderful tool for artists. I struggled to use photoshop to discover some of the same info, but this is so easy and gives me everything needed to make art that satisfies my vision. I’m not crazy about subscriptions, but I understand you have development and maintenance costs, and you have a very fairly priced annual plan. Good luck!!
Great tool!
I'm loving all the essential tools offered here! It's helping me plan drawings and paintings.
WOW
Omg where has this app been my whole life?!? Wow absolutely MUST have for any artist. Love this app so much!!
Color Study
Amazingly simple to use
Excellent
WAY better than expected. Finally found an extremely useful multi-tool for identifying value & color & providing mixing ratios. Every feature in this app is very useful. Pro version soooo worth it, honestly has reignited my excitement in landscape painting with oils. All around great learning experience with every use. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
