Features & Capabilities

Watercolour Reference has been designed to assist watercolour artists and painters, either beginners or the more advanced. This app assists the artist in the choice of appropriate colours and shades by providing data on individual colour characteristics and suggesting colour mixes/combinations and tips for a variety of topics.

Suggested colour mixes can be viewed on your Apple Watch for quick reference.

The Paint Mixing simulation allows you to choose up to three colours and mix them together in varying quantities to produce an estimate of how they might mix in the real world.

Watercolour Reference currently uses the watercolour portfolios of Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith.

Included with this app are suggested combinations for portrait and flower painting plus a general watercolour characteristics database.

Additional categories can be purchased in-app.

I thought this would help in mixing colors, but it doesn’t. The app doesn’t fit well on an iPhone and you have to scroll all the time. Do not waste your money.

I have no idea why the first reviews were low! I love the features abs Daniel Smith is most of my paint collection. I love the color mixing tool. Awesome! Really helpful for just the right hue! I wish there was a save feature for color combos but I can work around that. Awesome tool for watercolor!!!!! Thanks so much! Lorie Fossa
