Mignon Sketch: Watercolor Oil
Real paint: pastel, gold leaf
Free · In‑App Purchases
The bleeding of watercolors, the depth of oil paints, and the grainy texture of a pencil on paper.
This paint app realistically recreates more than 50 art materials and 28 types of paper using advanced physical simulation.
When you place your brush, the paint seeps into the paper and spreads.
Layer another color before it dries, and the colors will bleed and blend together beautifully.
If you apply color after it dries, the underlying layer will show through translucent layers.
Everything that happens between the paint, water, and paper is computed in real-time with every stroke of your brush.
■ Natural Color Blending
Paints mix together just like real physical pigments.
Mixing blue and yellow creates green, and over-mixing results in muddy colors.
With plenty of water, colors disperse fluidly, while a drier brush leaves crisp, textured strokes.
■ 51 Realistic Art Materials
・Transparent Watercolor (11 brushes): Realistically reproduces bleeding, color blending, water volume, and drying.
・Oil Painting (9 brushes): Recreates the thickness, texture, and individual bristles of oil paint. Includes blenders.
・Pencils & Colored Pencils (20 brushes): Recreates varying hardnesses, sharpening styles, layering, and burnishing.
・Crayon (7 brushes): Recreates the unique waxy texture and dry scraping effect of real crayons.
・Gold & Silver Leaf (4 brushes): Specialized brushes for applying and brushing down metallic foils.
・Digital Pen & Airbrush: Clean, uniform lines and spray effects for illustrations.
■ 28 Distinct Paper & Substrate Types
Includes watercolor papers, traditional Japanese papers (Washi), sketchpapers, canvas, and more. You can freely choose the paper color and adjust the texture, water absorption, and drying rate of each substrate.
■ Realistic Paint Flow with Gyro Tilt
Wet paint flows in response to your device’s tilt using the gyro sensor. Dry it mid-flow to capture unique, organic drips exactly where they are.
■ Automatic Timelapse Videos
Your entire painting process is automatically recorded as a 15x speed timelapse video. No setup or manual recording required—just play it in-app or export as an MP4.
■ 3 Brush Modes
Switch dynamically between Brush, Eraser, and Finger blending. Use your finger to smudge and blend applied paint. The pencil eraser acts like a kneaded eraser, lifting pigment without flattening the paper grain.
■ Seamless & Intuitive UI
・One-finger drawing, two-finger gestures (pan, zoom, rotate).
・Press and hold to sample colors with the eyedropper.
・Tap with two fingers to undo, three fingers to redo.
・Adjust brush size and opacity on the fly with sticky sliders.
・Auto-saves instantly when you pause, preserving your work even if you close the app.
Compatible with Apple Pencil pressure, tilt, and orientation.
■ Color Management
Select colors with the color wheel, customizable palettes, or sliders. Create unlimited palettes, drag to organize colors, and drag color buttons to flood-fill areas with adjustable thresholds.
■ Powerful Layering
Supports opacity, layer ordering, clipping, 20 blend modes (Multiply, Screen, Overlay, etc.), filters (binary, line extraction), and transform tools. You can also dry wet layers or lock wet colors.
■ Easy Export & File Sharing
Export your creations as PNG, JPEG, MP4 timelapse videos, or as `.mgn` project files to continue painting on another device. Organize files into folders and customize canvas sizes up to 8192px.
