Oil Painting Color by Numbers

Liking this coloring app. Format is different than most coloring apps—probably because it is an oil based program. Still have to contend with adds, but that seems to be impossible to get away with unless you pay. Even the adds that say “no annoying adds” lie in that they still have adds. All in all, I was looking for an app that was more challenging, and this one is it. Color blending is beautiful.

Unlike the tap-to-color apps which add extraneous lines creating extra areas to fill in, this coloring app seems to separate the colors genuinely so that you actually feels like you’re coloring the artwork. You end up with a in-depth color picture to enjoy. No advertising marks left on your image you save. The pictures are detailed with many variations of color and tints. Some are less detailed but the majority are high quality photo quality images. If you love artwork, interested in coloring by number to an artist depth, this app is for you.

Unlike other coloring apps, this one often requires filling in MANY very tiny spots of color, which takes awhile, but results in almost photo like realism. I find the exercise relaxing, and enjoy the building anticipation as the picture takes shape. You can earn hints by watching short promotional videos, which puts some control over ad viewing in the operator’s hands. I do not find the ads or need for purchases intrusive at all, compared to many other apps that I’ve tried. The only drawback? Such tiny spots of color might be lost on a small screen, like a phone.
