Overview

ArtistAssistApp is a web app for painters and drawing students that combines color matching, color mixing, photo simplification, outline generation, grid drawing, tonal value analysis, and image adjustment tools in one browser-based workspace.

It is designed to help artists work from reference photos more accurately and efficiently, whether they are matching a color, tracing an image, planning a limited palette painting, or preparing a painting photo for sharing.

Features

Photo-based color matching

Find the closest matching color from your set when you click a point on a reference photo, or get step-by-step guidance for mixing it using atomic or optical mixing.

Empirical color mixing

Compare and mix colors from specific brands in chosen proportions, with support for dilution and tinting to simulate real paint behavior.

Palette saving and reuse

Save favorite mixtures in palettes, name them, and keep track of the photo point where each color was sampled.

Outlines and grid drawing

Convert reference photos into printable outlines or grid layouts for tracing and accurate redrawing.

Study tools for value and composition

Create tonal value sketches, smooth photo details, and preview limited-palette versions to study light, shadow, and simplification.

Image adjustment and comparison tools

Apply artistic styles, adjust white balance and color, remove backgrounds, and compare photos in pairs for workflow support.

Use Cases

Reference-based color selection
Sample colors from a photo, match them against your chosen paint brands, or get a guided mixing recipe before you start painting.
