In this video I’m testing what might honestly be the coolest art gadget I’ve played with in a while: the LokLik iPaint painting machine. I walk you through how it works, what the setup looks like, and how the whole “paint-by-number, but make it a machine” experience feels from start to finish. If you’ve ever wanted something that takes some of the decision fatigue out of painting (especially on days when you just want to relax and make something pretty), this is a really fun option. I also show how I use Arrtx Simptap acrylic paint markers alongside the iPaint to make the process even easier and, yes, more satisfying. I’m all about watercolor and water-based media, but I love testing tools that can help us create more often—especially if they’re beginner-friendly and reduce the mess. By the end, you’ll know what you need to get started, what supplies I used, and whether this is the kind of creative “activity-style” painting you’d actually enjoy in your own studio.
