In their own words
HEAVYPAINT
HEAVYPAINT is a digital painting app focused on raw, digital-impressionist work. Its listed tools include Color Jitter, Fan Fill, Lasso Fill, Rake, Line Blend, and Liquify, alongside shape design and customizable tools. The interface is minimalist, and a gallery helps users review and organize creations. The app is aimed at plein air painters, artists making quick color studies or concept sketches, figure and gesture artists, and people seeking a digital aesthetic. Brush customization, layers, and pressure sensitivity are supported. HEAVYPAINT is available on the web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux; the homepage links to its web app and mobile store versions, while Classic desktop downloads are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. HEAVYPAINT 3+ accounts work across devices. A free plan is listed, along with Gallery Sync Monthly at $2.99 a month, Unlock Full Version at $9.99 as a one-time purchase, and Gallery Sync Yearly at $19.99 a year. Classic remains available but receives no new features or bug fixes. Exports are pixel-based, and pixel dimensions determine print resolution.
