JixiPix’s world class development team presents an award winning portraiture and fine art app, Photo Artista – Oil, that turns a photo “alla prima” (at once) into an oil painting masterpiece with no work on your part.

Their personal relationship with artists and deep love for art inspired them to develop a paint application that adds crucial dimension of depth and quality equivalent to those found only in an enduring oil painting.

Photo Artista is a painting tool that takes no time to master in order to create your own original work of art. Its efficient method in a simple interface requires a few easy steps: Start with a photo, choose a paint style, and then apply … let the application do the work. All that is required of you is the appreciation – Photo Artista will take care of the rest.

This app applies the most sophisticated brush strokes, lighting and canvas texture to your images with the option to remove texturing when printing to canvas. Photo Artista is a professional artistic media that graphic artists, photographers and hobbyists rely on for high quality end results.

Art styles from most realistic to least

Oil Portrait (recommended for close ups and head shots)
Renders a smaller “Brush Size” and “Bristle Depth” amount with some “Canvas” texture.

Oil Landscape (recommended for outdoor scenes)
Renders a small-to-medium “Brush Size” and “Bristle Depth” amount with more “Canvas” texture.

Oil Realism (technique where painting looks true-to-life)
Renders smallest “Brush Size”, with no “Bristle Depth” or “Canvas” texture. Use the "Tone" or "Lighten" slider to add interest to the realism painting.

Oil Impressionism (loose thick strokes & heavier paint built up)
Renders medium-to-large “Brush Size” and “Bristle Depth” amount with no “Canvas” option.

Oil Expressionism (unnatural or vibrant colors and paint build up)
Renders medium-to-large “Brush Size” and “Bristle Depth” amount with no “Canvas” option. Uses strong “Tone” and “Color Shift” amounts to achieve unnatural color.

Oil Tone Painting (monochromatic technique)
Renders a smaller “Brush Size” and “Bristle Depth” amount with no “Canvas” option. Uses the full “Tone” amount to achieve the best values in the light and dark areas of the painting.

Renders large “Brush Size” and “Bristle Depth” amount.
