Mixing Notes

Learn what your paints can do together. Mixing Notes helps oil painters find a starting mixture, explore a change, and keep useful discoveries. Pick a color in the example painting, take a reference photo, or browse an estimated recipe study. START WITH YOUR PAINTS Choose from 33 paint entries or make a smaller palette. Browse 1,986 estimated recipe studies, filtered to mixtures you can make with the paints you selected. Search by color family, ingredient, or name. EXPLORE A CHANGE Preview lighter, darker, warmer, cooler, or quieter additions. See the proposed mixture, the actual paint to add, and its approximate amount. Apply it, keep your current mixture, or undo a change. KEEP WHAT YOU LEARN Save recipes as parts, with mixing methods and your own notes. Record what happened with real paint and what you would change next time. Export and import JSON backups, and print a sheet of your saved mixtures. WORK ON YOUR DEVICE No account, subscription, or advertising. Photo sampling and recipe searches run on your device. Saved mixtures, palette choices, and draft notes stay in the app; export a backup to keep a separate copy. The color predictions and recipes use a generic digital paint model. They are teaching estimates, not measured matches for a particular paint brand. Actual tubes, lighting, ground, and paint thickness affect the result. Test a small pile and use your eye to judge real paint.
