The flagship instrumentLive
Easel Edge
Turns a reference image into a painting guide: color extraction, temperature and value analysis, and real oil mixing instructions built on Kubelka-Munk pigment behavior rather than screen math.
Open Easel EdgeThe Tools
Instruments for the easel.
Every atelier has its casts, mirrors, and mahlsticks. This one also builds software: written by a painter who codes, for problems that only exist at the easel. The paintings themselves are made entirely by hand; the tools serve the study.
