Painting VR from Oisoi Studio positions itself as the accessible, playful counterpart to the more technically serious Vermillion. Where Vermillion is an oil painting simulator built with professional artists, Painting VR is a creative sandbox built for anyone — "even if you think you're not a creative person, Painting VR might prove you wrong." Its 10,000+ square foot virtual studio contains a broader variety of tools than any other painting application reviewed: brushes, spray cans, paint rollers, markers, a customised drill fitted with a brush magnet, a water bucket for wet effects, and finger painting directly on the canvas. It even includes rainbow paint as a signature feature.

Community consensus places it clearly as second in the category behind Vermillion, but on its own terms rather than as a failure. One Steam reviewer who had used both apps put it plainly: "I would say it's the second best painting experience in VR, but clearly a notch below Vermillion... Vermillion is a more smooth and polished experience and also has better painting physics. However, Painting VR is still a very good painting app for VR." Another noted: "I had a blast painting with this app and I could see some people preferring this over Vermillion."
