For painters who think in values and colour

PaintLens

See simpler. Paint better. Turn a reference photo into a clear study before you touch the canvas.

Simplify the scene

Dial values, squint the midtones, and lock a limited palette so the big shapes show up before the details do.

Paint from a recipe

Build a small set of mixes with clear percentages. Export the study and the palette together so the easel stays tidy.

Squint on purpose

Blur and posterise until only the masses remain. Train your eye the way a good teacher would, without guessing in the dark.

From study to studio

The same reference, simplified in PaintLens, then painted for real. Drag the slider to compare the photo and the finished watercolour.
