Paintmakers are running out of the color blue

This is completely tangential but does anyone who has any real experience with painting done anything with the VR painting apps? I have one called PaintingVR, and I think it's cool, but I have no real experience with physical paints (always opting to use a digital drawing tablet since I was a kid).

If anyone has any experience, how do you feel it compares to the real deal?

VermillionVR[1] is incredibly realistic!

I really felt like I was in that brick studio with a nicer set of equipment than I'd ever used. I guess I used easels sort of like that in college, but in the real world I didn't use such a formal setup.

The realism and sense of presence made me notice the missing haptic feedback and the lack of smell feedback (linseed oil, turpentine, etc), but the audio feedback and the physics are really great.

My experience was with Vive Pro 2 and Valve knuckles.

King Spray on the Oculus Quest is pretty good (cue the multi threaded chain about Oculus requiring a FB login).

I'm really enjoying Kingspray as well. It's really close to spraycan painting, they even got the dripping effect just right.
