"Best iPad Reference App" -- App Store editorial team. Art Authority for iPad transports you to an enthralling, real-world art museum filled with works by over 1500 of the western world's greatest artists, from ancient times to today. 100,000 paintings and sculptures, organized into eight period-specific rooms, each room a gateway to a whole museum's worth of art. Choose an artist by movement or name, and become instantly immersed in an exhibition devoted just to that artist. Search for and compare different artists' works by title, subject or location, or just wander at random and get lost in the art.
"An experience unlike any other" -- The NY Times. Art Authority's works are professionally framed and hung on textured walls, accompanied by title, date and other details.

You can learn about an artist's life and works, or travel beyond the bounds of a traditional museum and view and compare works in a full-screen slideshow or scrolling thumbnail display. You can see and understand the actual size of works through "Art Real Size," and with "Art Like This" you can even view exhibits of similar works.

All-in-one art apps let you explore everything from painting to sketching to unique design. These apps give you all the tools you need.
Procreate
This is a deceptively simple app with a devoted following. The focus is on brushes (there are eight) rather than tons of different art tools. The interface is uncluttered and the app doesn't have the "bloat" associated with some of the more feature-heavy apps. Even with just a few tools in its repertoire, this app is a fantastic means for artists to create amazing works of art. It's also an easy-to-use app for doodlers.
Procreate is simple enough for anyone to use, but the best results will be made by those who know what they're doing. The app has plenty of powerful tools to help you create your next masterpiece.
SKETCHES SRL
Sketches is the most realistic, versatile and user-friendly sketching app designed for a mobile device. This exhaustive artist's toolbox helps users create dazzling sketches, cheerful paintings and smashing illustrations on the go. It has a ton of features and has stylus support.
Tayasui Sketches offers awesome tools for sketches, paintings, and more.
Inspire Pro
Inspire Pro is a little bit different from the previous apps … this app is an oil painting app. The app includes five different brushes each of which you can load up with different amounts of paint. The app features an impressive 1,000 layers of undo/redo support. The app can send photos to Flickr and directly to your photos app. There is a Mac and Windows app available to do some of the larger exports. The app can be used to create some pretty fantastic looking paintings. Inspire Pro is in a class on its own and worth a look.
Whether you dabble in painting or are a full-fledged artist, Inspire will truly inspire. Even though it’s loaded with features, its customizable interface allows you to simply jump right in and start creating without having to go through a massive tutorial.
If you want your own art studio that you can visit on your iPad anytime, check out these full-featured apps for your designs.
ArtStudio for iPad -Paint&Draw
ArtStudio is another option for those wanting to create artwork on their iPad. The app includes 30 brushes. These include pencils, brushes, a wet brush, an eraser, a smudge tool, an airbrush and many more. The app also includes a text tool to add captions or other text to your painting. The app also includes 17 drawing lessons. These are great for those that still need to learn how to draw effectively. The app will also simulate brush pressure to help your paintings look more realistic. The app can also insert various images onto six different layers. The app includes many more features and is a great alternative to the essential apps.
ArtStudio is a fairly simple app that is easy enough for anyone, even non-artists, to understand and use. However, if you do require some serious drawing tools, this app still provides quite a punch.
