Artista Impresso has been chosen as the official app of the Macy’s® Art in Bloom Flower Show—A Springtime Celebration of Imagination and Creativity! Transform your snapshot into a stroke-filled Impressionist masterpiece Artista Impresso — Passion Filled Impressionism The 19th century brush-wielding Impressionist artists were crazy about flowers and gardens, and it was good. With flowing brush strokes and thickly painted texture, Van Gogh made his sunflowers immortal; with harmonious movement of color, contrast, and form, Monet made his lily pond a celebrity. It took their genius, lifetimes of practice, and navigating the riot of their senses, but these extraordinary artists took what they saw and felt in the petals and leaves and transferred their impressions onto canvasses full of beauty, mood, and meaning. Lucky you, 21st century iPhone-wielding seer and lover of beauty—you have Impresso. With the same enduring attention to detail, light, color, and texure, Impresso transforms your photos into multi-textured, stroke-filled Impressionist masterpieces. And keen eyes will love how Impresso maintains the balance of your piece! The result—captivating, print-worthy paintings brimming with passion, life, and beauty. IMPRESSIONISM STYLES Alla Prima—uses a small brush inside an already placed detail ellipse tool for up-close or full-length portraits and still lifes.

FEATURES One-touch settings automatically transform photos into paintings using one of many paint styles. One-of-a-kind ellipse detail tool renders small brush strokes inside the placed area.
