Monet is the studio companion for painters who work from life and from reference. It turns your phone into a measuring tool, a value scope, a color lab, and an augmented-reality overlay — so you can spend less time second-guessing proportions and more time painting.

Whether you work in oil, acrylic, watercolor, or gouache, Monet helps you see your subject the way a trained eye does: as shapes, values, and color relationships.

— STUDIO: SEE YOUR REFERENCE CLEARLY —
- Grid overlay — drop an adjustable proportion grid over any reference to transfer it accurately to your canvas.
- Value studies — flatten color into 3, 5, or 7 posterized values, switch to grayscale, or use Notan and Squint modes to find the big light-and-shadow masses.
- Composition guides — rule of thirds, golden ratio, diagonals, and center lines to check your design.
- Crop and transform — reframe, rotate, flip, and correct perspective on your reference before you start.
- Sight-size measure — tap two points to read true proportions between marks.

— AR OVERLAY: PAINT ON TOP OF YOUR REFERENCE —
Point your camera at your real canvas and align your reference image over it with adjustable opacity, mirroring, and fine rotation. Check drawing, placement, and proportion at any stage without leaving your easel.

— COLOR: MIX WITH CONFIDENCE —
- Sample any point of your reference and read it in Munsell terms — hue, value, and chroma.
- See whether a color reads warm, cool, or neutral.
- Get suggested pigment mixes to reach the color you're after.
- Extract dominant palettes from an image and save your own palettes for each work.

— ATELIER: TRACK EVERY WORK —
- Organize your paintings in progress with stages, hours logged, and session history.
- Start a session timer and watch your hours build toward each work's estimate.
- Keep a tech sheet for every piece: medium, canvas size, reference, and progress.

— EXHIBIT: SEE THE FINISHED PIECE —
- Preview your painting in a gallery, a room, or on a clean white wall.
- Try thin black, natural wood, classic gold, floating, and passe-partout frames.
- Export polished mockups to share your work.

— BUILT FOR REAL ARTISTS —
- Measure your physical canvas with augmented reality.
- Export overlays, value studies, and framed mockups to Photos, Files, Mail, or Instagram.
- Works in English and Portuguese.
