BrushWorks: Hand-Paint Photos
Filled with care, not talent
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
Rub a photo into a painting of your own. Each stroke takes its color from the photo underneath. Pick from three brushes and nine sizes, and your hand does the rest.
Pick a photo you like and rub the screen. You don't need to know how to paint; the time you put in fills the canvas.
Color comes from the photo. The photo sits under the canvas as a faint underlay, and wherever you rub, its color at that spot becomes paint. You choose the brush and the size. No filter does the work, so a painting is finished only when the whole canvas is covered. One takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
