About

Brush Studio is a professional painting studio for iPad and iPhone — fast, precise and completely private. Paint with Apple Pencil or your finger.

One purchase unlocks everything: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.

PAINT LIKE YOU MEAN IT • A custom Metal brush engine with pressure, tilt and speed dynamics, textured shapes and grains, wet mixing and streamline smoothing • A large brush library — plus import your own brush shapes and grains • QuickShape: hold at the end of a stroke to snap to a perfect line, arc, ellipse or polygon

LAYERS THAT WORK LIKE A PRO APP • Layer masks, clipping masks, opacity and hue/saturation/brightness adjustments • 26 blend modes including Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft Light, Color Dodge, Hue and Luminosity • Move, scale and rotate any layer

COLOUR, THE WAY ARTISTS THINK • Colour disc, grid, sliders and hex • Harmony wheel: complementary, split complementary, analogous, triad, tetrad, square, monochromatic, tints-tones-shades, warm/cool contrast and limited palettes • Painter's (red-yellow-blue) or light (RGB) colour wheel • 24 hand-picked palettes you can add to your swatches in one tap

DRAW WITH PRECISION • Grid, isometric and 1-, 2- and 3-point perspective guides with drawing assist • Symmetry: mirror, quadrant, radial and rotational • On-canvas rulers and guide lines that strokes snap to • Physical rulers you can move and rotate with two fingers: straight edge, French curve and protractor • Thread stabilizer: the brush follows your finger on a string for perfectly smooth curves

CURVES & CLASSIC FORMS • Pen, spline, arcs, Bézier curves and shapes — stroked or filled with any brush • 30 classic curves: round, pointed, horseshoe, ogee, Tudor and trefoil arches with door and gate frames; golden and Fibonacci spirals, catenary, cycloid, egg, rose petals; foil windows, scalloped, wavy and cog rims, volutes and mouldings

NATURAL MEDIA • Watercolour, ink, gouache, acrylic, oil, soft pastel and pencil that blend, bleed and dry like the real thing

PAINT IN 3D • Import USDZ, OBJ and other 3D models and paint directly on them • Export the painted model as USDZ for AR Quick Look

FILTERS • Halftone, glitch, chromatic aberration, blur, sharpen, noise, pixelate and posterize with live preview

ANY CANVAS, ANY OUTPUT • Presets for print (A-series, US paper, at any DPI), social media, app icons and screens — or any custom size • sRGB, Display P3 and Adobe RGB working colour spaces • Export PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, PDF or layered PSD (blend modes included)

YOUR WAY • Assign two-, three- and four-finger taps to undo, redo, eyedropper, full screen and more • Your artwork autosaves and never leaves your device — no account, no tracking, no ads
