Artist Reference
See your subject clearly. Paint with confidence.
The iPad and iPhone app built for painters, illustrators, and traditional artists. Value studies, gridlines, side-by-side view, and curated references; all designed for real-world work at the easel.
Everything you need at the easel. Nothing you don't.
Every tool is designed to help you see your subject more clearly and translate what you see onto the canvas.
Ready-to-Paint Collections
Curated reference images across landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and more. Pick a subject, open it, and start painting.
One Home For All Your References
Import your own photos or use the built-in library. All your references live in one place: organized, accessible, and ready the moment inspiration strikes.
Gridlines
Overlay a customizable grid on any reference to nail your proportions and perspective before the first brushstroke.
Value Studies
Simplify any reference into light and shadow. Choose from 2 to 10 value steps or full grayscale so you can see the tonal structure before you mix a single color.
Works wherever you create
Offline Ready
Studio, workshop, café, or painting en plein air; no internet required. Your references go wherever you do.
Clean & Focused
No ads, no accounts, no distractions. Just the reference tools you need to do your best work.
