The Popsicolor app turns your photos into pastel watercolours.
How does it work? The app creates a series of concentric circles, each is turned at an angle. These work to shift the reality of your photo.
Configure the size of the circles, the number of circles and the angle to create your own twists on reality. Add as many twists to your photo as you like.
