One connected workflow

Keep the reference beside the easel—not six disconnected apps.

Built in public, honestly

What artists can expect from us.

Useful free core

The basic Colour Picker is planned to remain free.

Artist-led decisions

Tools are shaped around real work beside the easel.

Clear about what’s next

Planned and AI-powered features are labelled honestly.

The signature workflow

One image. Six purposeful stages.

The studio, brought together

See more clearly before you paint.

Artist’s Companion follows the decisions artists already make, from cleaning a reference to showing a buyer how the finished work could live in their space.

Start with colour

Pick, inspect and build a palette.

Tap anywhere for a swatch, name, HEX, RGB, HSL, value and saturation. Save colours or reduce a photograph into 5, 8 or 12 dominant colours.

Reference editing

Crop, straighten and tune tone, temperature, clarity and sharpness with Before/After comparison.

AI cleanup · Planned

Remove distracting wires, signs, vehicles and clutter, or extend a composition with intentional controls.

Analyse

Reduce complexity, not character.

Explore grayscale, notan, value studies, major shapes, contours and edges. Add an adjustable grid when proportion and transfer matter.

Paint & present

Move from pigments to the buyer’s wall.

Planned paint-mixing guidance supports traditional media; framing, room mockups and customer-wall visualisation help finished work look ready to collect.

01

Colour Picker & Palettes

Tap a reference to inspect its colour, value and saturation, then extract a focused 5, 8 or 12-colour palette.

02

AI Reference Editor

Planned artist-focused tools remove wires, signs, vehicles and visual clutter without turning the app into a generic photo editor.

03

Reference Simplifier

Study grayscale, notan, three- and five-value structures, major colour masses, contours and edges before making a mark.

04

Grid Overlay

Set rows, columns, subdivisions, opacity, line weight and colour for accurate transfers to paper or canvas.

05

Paint Mixer

Planned mixing guidance will connect sampled reference colours with validated pigments for watercolour, acrylic, oil and gouache.

06

Framing & Customer Walls

Present finished artwork in room mockups—or on a buyer’s own wall—with dimensions, frames, mats and export-ready previews.

For every stage

A companion that grows with your practice.

Learn to see value and proportion, accelerate daily reference preparation, or present work professionally without changing your natural process.
