// Made with love by Pim & Nynke
Voorbeeld was born from a real artistic need. When Nynke began painting lessons, she told Pim she wished there was a simple app that could overlay a grid on reference photos. She also wanted to see her images in grayscale to help lay down the first values in her paintings, just like she learned in class. Pim built the first version that same day — and Nynke’s been using it ever since.

Every feature in Voorbeeld has been shaped by real creative use, tested on real paintings, and made to be as helpful and intuitive as possible. It’s not just an app — it’s a multi tool made by artists, for artists.
