Color Mixing
Tap any spot in a reference photo and Viridian names the exact mix: which paints, in what ratio, tuned for oil or acrylic. No more eyeballing it and hoping.
- Works from any photo, painting, or reference image
- Recipes built from paints you actually own
- Oil and acrylic ratios, side by side
What to notice
Image Layers
A real reference photo, algorithmically broken into four honest stages, Major Forms, Smaller Forms, Refining Detail, and Final Detail, so you always know what to block in next.
- Nothing repainted or guessed, every layer is the same photo, just progressively revealed
- Toggle Grid for placement, or B&W to study value before color
- Great for breaking down intimidating references
Block-in
Painting Stages
Any reference photo, broken into four clean painting stages (block-in, values, color, and final detail), each with its own color notes, so you always know what to paint next.
- Four stages, from rough shapes to final detail
- Color notes attached to every stage
- Great for breaking down intimidating references
