Oleosa - Drawing App for Oil Painting
Real Oil Painting Brush Strokes
What it does
Experience oil painting like never before. Oleosa captures real physical oil paint textures and brings them to your fingertips — three powerful brush engines that no other painting app can match. UNLIKE ANY OTHER PAINTING APP Most painting apps simulate brushes with digital stamps. Oleosa is different — every stroke is mapped directly from real physical oil paint. The result looks and feels like actual paint on canvas, not a digital imitation.

I've made a drawing app based on my physical sketching practice, using fluid sim and some shader tricks to mimic watercolor-style ink washes. Best used on iPad or with a drawing tablet.

Yes, I am learning Github so I probably made repository mistakes - apologies in advance lol)

Hey HN! I want to show my new open-source project ArtistAssistApp. ArtistAssistApp - the web app to paint better with ease. Tools for realistic color mixing based on real paints, tonal value drawing, simplified sketching, and more. Import your own photos, select any desired color directly from the image, and learn how to mix it with your paints. The web app provides a step-by-step guide on how to precisely mix that color using your own paints using atomic or optical mixing. Atomic mixing is the physical mixing of colors together, while optical mixing is the result of placing a transparent…

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
