Painting on canvas or walls is more than a simple hobby, or at least for painters. It's the best way they can exert their artistic freedom and create a new masterpiece. Appy Holi - Color your pics — or simply Appy Holi — lets you do the same. However, instead of painting on traditional canvas, you get to paint your photos.

Appy Holi is a free photo editing app, but instead of applying filters and effects, you get to smudge paint on your pictures. You can splatter as many colors as you want and share your artwork on social media sites like Facebook.

Mix and match painting methods

The developers of Appy Holi were inspired by the Hindu tradition “Festival of Colors'' when making this app. On this festival, the Hindu people celebrate and dance on the street while splashing different colored powders. They apply the colored paint on their skin, on lamp posts, and anywhere possible. In this application, although you won't be dancing on the streets, you will still be able to have fun with colors.

All you have to do is take a photo or import one from your gallery, then choose your method of paint. You can select the water balloon, hand prints, powder, or pen. You can even mix and match if you like. There’s also no limit to what you can do. Cover the whole picture or only draw additional illustrations like wings or horns perhaps. 

This lovely app has a simple user interface. It is also light and won’t take up too much space in your storage. However, the app doesn’t work on newer device versions. So if your device is up to date or has been recently optimized then you won’t be able to install this app. You might want to consider downloading similar apps instead.

Discover a new medium

Whether you edit pictures for fun or a living, you can play around with a new medium and stop using filters for a change. Appy Holi is an amazing app that gives you the opportunity to have fun and experiment with your photos. You might even discover a new drawing or editing technique that you can hone further down the line.
