Pentimento: Studio Log

Painting catalogue & progress

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your studio on iPhone and iPad: catalogue every painting stage by stage, frame it on the wall, and share polished portfolios with galleries and collectors. A pentimento is the trace of an earlier idea that shows through a finished painting. A finished painting buries its own history — the underdrawing, the dead layer, the glaze that changed everything. Pentimento keeps that record. A private studio companion for painters and realist artists. Document the process Add dated progress photos to each piece and label the stage — underdrawing, imprimatura, dead layer, block-in, glazing, varnish. Every painting keeps a full timeline, and a progress reel plays the stages back as a short video. Catalogue your work Record title, kind, medium, support, dimensions, and notes for each piece. Group work into collections — a show, a series, a gallery's stock, a collector's set. Keep the records Track status from in-progress to at-gallery, on consignment, or sold. Keep consignment records with the gallery, commission rate, and dates. Hold sale provenance — price, buyer, gallery, and commission — so a piece's history is never lost. Showcase a finished piece Present any work in a drawn frame on a choice of textured walls, and share the image. Light and dark appearance. Alternate app icons. Everything is stored on your device — no account, no cloud, no sign-in. Private by default. Free to use with one project and one collection. Pentimento Unlimited removes the limits with a single one-time purchase of $9.99 — not a subscription. Your art, in progress.

Pentimento is now made for iPad. On iPad, a new sidebar and two-pane layout lets you browse your works on one side and see the full piece - image, progress stages, and details - on the other, using the whole screen. iPhone keeps its familiar layout. Plus assorted refinements. Thank you for using Pentimento.
