Artist Reference & Value Study

Spend less time prepping, more time painting

What it does

It started as a personal tool to remove friction: too many apps for references, value studies, and color. Now it’s a single place. • Browse curated collections if you don’t know what to paint • Plan projects • Add references (photos, inspiration, your own sketches) • Build color palettes • Start painting with structure • Use the grid feature to map proportions • Use value scale tools to block in your first layers • Take a photo of your final piece
