Oil Painting Assistant helps you produce oil paintings of images from a scanner, digital camera, or the web. With Oil Painting Assistant, you load in a digital image, crop it to fit your canvas, and adjust coloration to suit your tastes. It also applies a grid to the image so you can more accurately sketch on your canvas. The assistant then displays an analysis of the image showing what paints would be useful for the painting’s base coat. The analysis and grid-overlaid image can be displayed on your monitor while you paint, or printed on a color printer.
Our Review: If you're a budding oil painter, Oil Painting Assitant is a very cool program. Simply load a picture into the program and it will tell you what to paint, and where! You'll still need some level of artistic talent (unfortunately) but it does help you with colours and mixing. This is a very cool idea for a program and it is implemented very well. The interface is wizard-like and very easy to understand and follow. Well worth the download if you've got an easel sitting in the corner and you just can't get motivated.
