Studio Tools
A growing set of digital tools for working artists — built to help with value, color, and composition decisions before paint hits the canvas.
Value Study
Group a reference photo into 2-10 value steps in grayscale, umber, or color.
Notan Generator
Reduce an image to a two- or three-value notan for composition planning.
Shape Simplifier
Flatten a photo into simplified shapes to study its underlying design.
Temperature Map
Visualize the warm/cool temperature relationships across a reference image.
Line Contour
Extract clean contour line art from a photo for drawing practice.
Palette Extractor
Pull a dominant color palette out of a reference photo automatically, with a value scale showing where each color sits.
Paint Mixing
Sample colors from a reference image, get a tube recipe for each, and save samples into separate palettes, one per hue family, each with its own value scale.
Composition Analyzer
Overlay compositional guides, including a proportional transfer grid, to analyze balance and copy a reference accurately.
