What it is
Wu Yiming of WellObserve develops Our Paint. The page presents its main features and links to downloads, a manual and a blog. It aims to attract users to a free GPL program.
What it says
- The page says the canvas is infinite, though limited internally to 100000 by 100000 pixels.
- It says pigment is stored as spectral reflectance and transmittance in sub-pixels.
- It claims the most flexible colour mixing among open source painting programs. It cites studio testing.
- It claims to be first in industry with full node-based control of brush dabs. It cites studio testing.
- It says colour management covers sRGB, AdobeRGB, D65 P3 and CMYK soft proofing.
What evidence it gives
The page offers feature descriptions and footnotes only. Two footnotes cite the developer's own studio testing from 2025. No benchmarks, screenshots described in text, or user reports appear.
Interests and limits
The author builds and distributes the program, so the claims are self-reported. The images and demos were not viewed. The page is short. The footnotes say some colour features depend on the operating system and monitor.
