Hands-on studio benches — mix paint on the artist's wheel and paint a knight's shield one technique at a time. Nothing is saved anywhere but your own device.

🎨 Paint Studio Mix two paints and watch pigment behave (mixing darkens; opposites make mud), then paint a shield in order: basecoat → wash → drybrush → glaze. 🔮 Predict the mix Guess what two paints make — or which technique fits a surface — before the reveal. Guessing first is how it sticks.
