Fantastic app

This app does everything I need to learn and continue to develop with oil painting, all within one app. It's extremely helpful and lots of fun to use and gets me painting more, which is always a good idea! Clearly developed by someone who knows exactly what painters need. I believe it would be an incredibly useful tool for artists of all levels. Highly and unconditionally recommended. Very happy I found it.

Good tool

I saw this app on social media and thought it looked interesting. I decided to buy it because I was starting a very large painting and thought the app could help with the underpainting. And it did. I like the simplified image and the color swatches.
