See the color.
Mix the paint.

DollopMix turns any reference photo into paint recipes, value studies and color masses, then checks your painting against the photo.

Coming soon to the App Store

For iPhone. Built with a working art teacher for her students.

Everything a painting student needs, in one app

Tap a photo, get a recipe. Then plan your values, block in your color, and check your work.

Tap any spot to see which paints to mix and in what amounts, using the brand you paint with.

Choose the tubes you own, or load your class list, and every recipe uses only those paints.

Photograph the paint on your palette and see whether it is too light, too dull or too warm.

Reduce a photo to 2 to 5 values and drag the borders until the design reads clearly.

Simplify a photo into flat shapes for the block-in, and see which areas run warm or cool.

Lay a photo of your painting over the reference and see exactly where values and colors differ.

DollopMix grew out of real painting classes. It speaks the language teachers use and fits the way a class works.

Teachers share one palette list and the whole class mixes from the same paints.
Munsell hue, value and chroma explained in plain words.
Grid overlay for transferring the drawing.
Save value studies and comparisons for critiques and portfolios.
Works with Winsor & Newton, Gamblin, Golden, Old Holland, Michael Harding and Master's Touch.
No account, no ads, and your photos never leave your phone.
