How It Works:

Step 1: Select your favorite photo.
• Your child
• Pets
• Sports highlights
• Sunsets
• Anything!

Seconds later your photo fades into a "blueprint" which acts as a magic guide as you paint.

Step 2: Select your paint media:
• Oil Paint
• Watercolor
• Charcoal
• Chalk
• Pastel
• Pencil
• Airbrush
• Pen and Ink
• Scratch Board

Make your painting look even more realistic with these paper textures:
• Canvas
• Brick
• Cracked Paint
• Rough Paper
• Mosaic
• Stone

Step 3: Painting Technique

Paint using a simple but important technique: start with a large brush size to quickly fill in. Your painting will form in a very abstract way. Then switch to smaller and smaller brush sizes and paint over areas that you want more details revealed like faces, people, objects. You see the "magic" happen in front of your eyes as an abstract painting forms into a masterpiece in just a few minutes.

Save your painting to your photo gallery, email it to your friends, or sync your it with your computer to print.

High-Resolution:
Artist's Touch saves images at a resolution high enough for 8x10 prints. You can also create printed greeting cards by using our online service at www.artamata.com

Artist's Touch for iPhone Review

Image editor puts powerful tools at your disposal for creating art

Even if you’ve never painted a day in your life, you can count on producing beautiful works of art in no time with the help of Artist’s Touch by Artamata.


Artist’s Touch
Simply choose a photo from the camera roll on your iPhone or iPod touch or take a new one with the iPhone’s built-in camera. Artist’s Touch will create a “blueprint,” which acts as a guide for your brushstrokes while you paint. You can use oil paint, water color, charcoal, pastel, chalk, pencil, airbrush, pen and ink, or a scratchboard. Each medium is quite realistic and can be used in combination. Artist’s Touch lets you control the opacity of your brushstrokes for even more realism. Choose from several textures to paint on—canvas, brick, cracked paint, mosaic, stone, and rough paper.

Once you’ve chosen the photo, medium, and texture you’re ready to start painting. Just make your brush size large and start filling in the canvas. As you reduce the brush size, more detail will emerge until your masterpiece is finished.

The direction of your brushstrokes and the size of your brush coupled with the chosen medium will determine the overall style of the painting you create making for endless possibilities. You can also free hand your own painting without guidance from the app. Once finished, save your paintings to the camera roll, e-mail them to friends, or print them from the computer.

Currently on sale for half off its regular $10 price, Artist’s Touch allows even the most inartistic person to produce beautiful paintings while providing realistic tools to those who are more creative.

Artist’s Touch is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.x software update.

This is my family favorite app! My husband, myself, and my son (4 1/2) have all enjoyed the pleasure of art work in our car, home, anywhere really! We have an amazing art gallery and it is so easy to use. This app is totally worth the money.
