There is a massive amount of iPad apps for artists and art lovers, it's possible to spend a day or more simply browsing through. Most of them are fairly similar so I've done the job of finding five stand out apps that each have something unique to offer.

 
Your Art
By National Gallery of Art, Washington


A concise education in some 130+ fine works of art, providing images, details, facts, figures, and lots of background to each piece. This free app is a must have for all who appreciate the quality and cultural relevance of our finest and most exquisite paintings and artworks. The app will help you plan a visit to the museum as well as open its doors to all around the world who would love to get involved but wouldn't be able to without this software.




MoMA Art Lab

This fancy app allows users to make amazing artworks with unique twists. It's aimed at children but it could be used by anyone. The funky and modern art inspired activities help artists to think outside of the box and form connections between creative and abstract principles. It allows saving, sharing, and also has parental controls. It's won awards for its unique ingenious nature, making it a sure bet.




Tayasui Sketches
By Tayasui.com


This ultra-realistic art app allows artists to paint, draw, colour in, and design pretty much what they want. The long list of tools are each designed to replicate the real thing, but if you're not happy with that, you can edit them yourself. With this capability it's possible to create truly personalised and unique artworks with your own settings. It supports a stylus and has pressure sensitivity, just like the real thing.
