Waterlogue: Watercolor Camera
Beautiful art from your photos
Turn your photos into beautiful watercolours. Waterlogue is a great app for anyone who feels that painting is beyond them. Choose the photo that you’d like to see painted, pick the colour palette and style you’d like the app to use, and watch the app ‘paint’ a masterpiece.
It’s particularly good on images with strong subjects such as people or landscapes; just like with real watercolour painting, intricate detail is very hard to reproduce.
The app produces really good results with the standard settings, but you can tweak things to give your painting the personal touch. There are 14 pre-set styles to choose from, and you can also adjust the brightness of the image and change the size of the brush.
Waterlogue’s painting process is an extraordinary thing to watch, and the results are good enough to hang on your walls – so it’s handy that the app includes an option to export your finished image as a high-resolution file you can then print. If you prefer to display your pictures digitally you can export to social media.
