Description
Pattern/texture designers: You’ll find the app’s unique feature set very useful when making repeatable images (patterns).
Other artists: WowPaint is great for drawing and painting “normal” art as well!
• CREATE SEAMLESS PATTERNS •
Use the Seamless Pattern Options to aid you in creating seamless patterns that can be used as website or desktop backgrounds, in print, or for textures in 3d modeling.
When you have switched on Wrap X/Y, any strokes you paint that go over the picture’s edge will continue on the opposite side.
That means that there will be no hard edges where strokes are cut off (since they continue instead), which makes the picture a perfect candidate for being seamlessly repeated.
A tremendous help when using the Wrapped Painting mode is the option of having the picture displayed as tiles next to each other.
You’re free to paint anywhere on these tiles, and you will see the results in real time.
You can also switch on Edge Indicators, to make it easier to see where the picture being repeated begins and ends.

What’s New
Version 5.4.2
[NEW] Added “Reset to Default” button to the Scrollable Palette Area menu (to open that menu, scroll the palette to its beginning and click the largest of the three buttons that appear).
[FIXED] A couple of rare user interface layout glitches.
[FIXED] In Work in Progress (Gallery), in some cases, buttons would erroneously be disabled after importing a picture.
[FIXED] Dropping multiple files on the app icon did not always place the imported pics grouped together.
[IMPROVED] Clicking a dial could result in an unintentional adjustment.
[IMPROVED] A few minor things.
Ratings and Reviews
Like painting with spray foam!
This is a fun, simple app packing a surprising amount of functionality. I wish it was combined with the very similar apps from the same developer; having them separate seems very artificial and weird and I want to use all the brushes together.
To put it meanly all these apps from this person work the exact same except for the older Chill Paint, but stop you from using the brushes together to make you buy the same pro features multiple times. To put it nicely, it keeps the apps individually simple and lets people find what they’re searching for on the App Store in specific terms I guess. Still, it’s silly! I want to use all the brushes together!
Basically I’m peeved because I like these apps so much. I wouldn't care if they were lame. Definitely give it a download. They pack a punch with a surprising number of features.
All these apps are missing some really basic stuff I’d expect of an art app but also have a bunch of features, once you buy pro, that I wish all art apps had. You’ll have to give it a try yourself.
I love the wow brushes! They provide such a unique and interesting sculptural look. I’m gonna be using this for a long time
Just What I Needed
I am experimenting with surface design, particularly repeat patterns. It is somewhat difficult to align objects for a seamless look even using expensive soft wear. I am so delighted to have found this neat little program to fill this need!
It is tremendously easy to draw designs in the grid mode and see them laid out in a repeating pattern as I draw. I can either finish them in this program ( though art styles are limited) or save them and transfer to Procreate or Adobe to trace over them with a larger array of brushes. This saves so much time, trial, and error.
The Pro plan is definitely worth the purchase and works flawlessly on my Apple tablet. I can doodle wherever I am and see how my ideas might work in a textile design. This is so much fun! Great for wallpaper too!
WOW Paint - Powerful - Unique
Different from all other paint Apps in what it does - allows tremendous creativity outside the box.
