## Core Capabilities & Features

### 1. Kubelka-Munk Physical Paint Mixing Lab (Engine v2.2)
- Solves real-world subtractive colour mixing formulas for artists' physical paints using advanced two-constant Kubelka-Munk absorption and scattering optics ($K/S$), CIE $\Delta E_{00}$ colour difference metrics, and pigment calibration.
- Replaces naive RGB digital mixing with true physical pigment physics (accurately modeling tinting strength, masstone vs. undertone, pigment granulations, and opacity).
- Supports major artist paint manufacturers: Winsor & Newton (Artists' Oil & Winton), Michael Harding, Old Holland, Gamblin, Schmincke Mussini, Daniel Smith, Sennelier, Rembrandt, Daler-Rowney, Holbein.

### 2. Intelligent Studio Inventory & Supplier Lead-Time Reorder System
- Comprehensive stockroom management for Paints, Pigments, Brushes, Mediums & Solvents, Surfaces (Canvases, Linen, Boards, Paper), Drawing Materials, and Studio Tools.
- User-configurable stock triggers: user can alert by physical tube reserves ($\le 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ tubes in studio) or open tube fill percentages ($\le 10\%, 20\%, 30\%, 50\%$).
- Intelligent replenishment warning: calculates required reorder lead times based on artist consumption rates and preferred art store delivery windows (e.g. Jackson's Art, Evans Art Supplies, Jerry's Artarama).
- Unified Shopping List with dynamic grouping (by Preferred Supplier, Category/Type, Urgency/Reason, Brand, or Flat List) and high-resolution PDF print exports.

### 3. Classical Atelier Mentor (AI Fine Art Studio Critic)
- Context-aware fine art AI mentor steeped in classical atelier traditions (Bargue drawing, Sight-Size method, academic anatomy, Munsell colour theory, indirect Flemish/Venetian glaze techniques, Alla Prima, and plein air).
- Provides constructive composition feedback, tonal value assessments, edge control guidance, and step-by-step masterclass painting plans.

### 4. Reference Studio & Visualiser
- Tonal value posterization (Notan and 3/5/9-value scale analysis).
- Grid systems (Classical Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio, Dynamic Symmetry, Perspective Grids).
- Virtual Exhibition & Room Visualiser: preview finished or in-progress artworks framed on realistic gallery and studio walls with custom matting and lighting.

### 5. Multi-Cloud Studio Vault & Sync
- Seamless synchronization with Google Drive and Apple iCloud Drive for painting dossiers, high-res reference imagery, color palettes, and studio notes.
