Real generative art, now up to 150 megapixels
Oilist: the Artist in your pocket.
Make Fine Art based on your pictures!
"Oilist is an artist in your phone, one that you watch sketch, paint, and craft a unique version of a photo you’ve shot." - MacStories, May 2017
"App of the week: Oilist review - Hypnotic, engaging, with a longevity that escapes most filter apps, and with high-res output so you can use it to create real-world art." - Stuff Magazine, April 2017
Give Oilist an image, and it will automatically generate a genuine and unique work of art based on it. Painted for you in real time! Participate or spectate it's up to you, Oilist will delight! All saved at canvas-worthy 4k resolution.
Oilist comes with 48 infinitely customizable styles; from photo-realist to impressionist, to abstract. Every style except for our photo-realist style offers three different levels of abstraction.
Oilist is not a photo filter. Unlike most filter apps, Oilist will never generate the same results twice, and in fact, each brush stroke is unique. Instead of applying a fixed formula to an image as photo filters typically do, Oilist analyzes the supplied image using computer vision technology, then paints simulated paint particles that are applied using various brush strokes and techniques.
At any time during the painting process, 4k resolution images may be captured as often as desired.
When Oilist is painting, styles can be infinitely customized with 17 different presets (these were called Styles in previous versions of Oilist), 13 different painting moods, 15 different brushes, setting brush options such as the size and spacing, and by splashing paint with our exciting Chaos tool. Control paint gravity by tilting your device and brush angles by yawing (rotating) the device.
Obtain new and exciting results by alternating settings with new settings painted on top of the previous settings. For instance, first, paint a layer using the Warm mood followed by a layer using the Cool mood. The use of large brushes tend to create more abstract artwork, and smaller brushes work best for high definition detail.
Oilist will automatically provide smaller brush strokes and greater photo-realism to detected faces.

I do Photography, Abstract Art and Design and have tested this App with many different types of picture - high quality Photos, Abstract Art of my own and it’s incredible!!! What you do is simply select the Photo or Picture you want use and then select a Famous Painter and one of their styles then the App shows you the original picture then wipes it leaving white and starts painting. It does not paint like a Painter and looks odd to begin with and over time more and more detail is added. Then when you like what you see you tap a button to save it. It keeps running continuously, slowly adding more detail. There are many different styles, so one picture can be made to come out many different ways. The results look like Paintings of different styles and are convincing. I have tested this App thoroughly and recommend it as a tool for Artists to relax with and for anyone at all who loves Art. If you have read this far then buy this App now and be deeply happy with. It will bring you joy and relaxation as the pictures form before you over time. 10/10
Great App

This is a lovely way to pass the time, but also incredibly creative too. The variations are limitless, and it’s a joy to use. It really is a 5 star app, but I’ve only given 4 because of one tiny niggle. Using the app on a phone, the pause symbol, which is an important feature, covers the centre of the image you want to view before saving, but much is hidden. The whole image is sensibly the pause/play button, but if the symbol were a little more discrete, say smaller and across the bottom of the image, that would make a huge difference. Other than that, well done.

Wonderful app that does just what it sets out to do, and really well I might add. My one gripe is that it’ll pause my music to play it’s little pic snap sound anytime I wish to save a piece. As another reviewer has said, watching it work away is zen-like, but the pausing of my music takes me out of that. I’d even call it annoying. Otherwise I’m happy :)
Developer Response
You can disable the sound effect. Just open your Settings app, look for Oilist on the left, tap Oilist and disable sound effects. That should help keep your zen state intact! ;)
hmmm.

I DO like this app, but I'd be a lot more impressed if it wasn't trying to flog me some expensive canvas framing and printing service. I've hit that button a couple of times now thinking that I was just saving my image in a software 'picture frame' before realising that if I followed through, I'd be ordering a physical item (and monetary charge) that I didn't want.Its not labelled clearly enough.The button is not welcome in its present form, at least give us a way to turn it off or on in the settings. - or label it properly so its clear what it is.Do that and I'll be happy to give five stars.
