What's Inside:
Canvas Studio
Plan your artwork to real-world size with tools built for traditional artists:
• Set custom canvas dimensions in inches
• Choose grid sizes starting from 1 inch and up- ideal for artist who copy from grids
• Add rule of thirds overlays and adjustable grids
• Convert any image into a line drawing or shaded sketch
• Zoom, scale, and position your image precisely on the virtual canvas
• Measurement Mode + Calibration
- Tap to enter measuring mode
- Measure any part of the image directly on the canvas
- Enter a real-world length (e.g., resize a 2-inch head to 6 inches)
- The canvas will calibrate and scale the image accordingly
• Print your layout across multiple 8.5” x 11” pages — perfectly scaled to match your entered canvas size
- Tape printed pages together to create a full-scale layout for your real canvas
- Trace directly onto toned or wet base layers while the surface is still workable
- Or apply charcoal to the back of printed pages and trace over them for dry canvas transfer
- Ideal for artists wanting to scale reference photos accurately to canvas before painting
- Save layout projects for future editing and printing
Print-to-scale transfer system lets you move your composition from screen to canvas with ease.
Color Picker Studio
Pinpoint and explore key colors in any image:
• Pick up to 10 color points
• Each point creates a color chip with real Gamblin paint mix suggestions
• View tint, tone, shade, RGB, HEX, CMYK, HSV
• Explore complementary, analogous, and triadic colors
• Save or print a full summary sheet of all 10 colors with their placement
Color Mixing Lab
Mix any number of paint colors with real pigment logic:
• Add unlimited colors from the Gamblin oil catalog
• Adjust percentages to simulate accurate pigment behavior
• LAB comparison helps visually match results
Note: Results are approximately 80% accurate due to limitations of digital-to-paint simulation.
Channel Study · Color Filters
Analyze images using channel-based color and grayscale filters.
• Apply Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Black & White, or Grayscale filters
• Use Pop Art and Posterize modes to simplify images into bold value blocks
• Ideal for tonal studies, value planning, and painting reference analysis
• Turn photos into clear, paint-ready value maps before you start
Color Theory Studio
Explore and mix using the traditional color wheel:
• Primary, secondary, and tertiary interactions
• Mix up to 4 colors including black, white, and gray
• Tonal scale and mixing tips included
