PaintingMirror.
Every great painting starts with seeing clearly.
A studio camera tool built for painters who want cleaner observation. Use your phone as a mirror, blur detail to judge big shapes, strip back to value masses, and simulate distance from your canvas in one focused app.
Built for a cleaner look.
Traditional studio habits, translated into a camera workflow you can trigger in one tap.
Free studio foundation
Mirror and Composition stay free, always. Keep the two most-used observation checks available in every session.
Full Studio tools
Unlock Grayscale, Blur, Step Back, Black Mirror, and Critique Delay through App Store trial eligibility or paid studio access.
Private by design
Everything runs on device. No analytics, no ads, no tracking SDKs, and no remote camera feed storage.
Studio habits made immediate.
Mirror check, stepping back, and squinting are built into the camera so they stay one tap away while you paint.
Free Studio
Mirror and Composition are free forever. Flip the scene to catch proportion drift and check structure with crop frame, rule of thirds, golden ratio, and diagonal armature guides.
Full Studio
When eligible, unlock through App Store trial or choose yearly, monthly, or permanent access for deeper critique tools built for painting sessions.
Also in every session
Mirror Check, Pinch to Squint, Rest Eye, Pinned Study, Quiet Look, Live Reference, and Studio Assistant for save, markup, and export.
How it works
Everything runs on device. No feed recording, no remote transmission, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking SDKs of any kind.
Fewer second guesses. Clearer observation. Better paintings.
Painting Mirror keeps old studio discipline close when you are deep in a painting and likely to skip it. Quiet interface. Better reads. More useful decisions.
