Step 1
Upload the photo to paint
Portraits, landscapes, and still-life shots all suit oil conversion. Images with strong light direction give Wan 2.6 more to translate into layered highlights and shadowed brushwork.

Step 2
Set the painting's character
The default asks for textured brushwork, rich color, and gallery lighting. Prompt for impasto thickness, a classical palette, or loose expressive strokes to change the school of painting.
Step 3
Generate the canvas and download
Render the painting, zoom in to inspect stroke texture, and export in square or wide ratios. For prints, pick the ratio matching your frame before generating.

FAQ
Oil Painting FAQ
How does the converter create realistic brush texture?
Wan 2.6, the default model for painterly and handmade art looks, synthesizes directional strokes, paint ridges, and canvas grain based on your photo's forms — so texture follows the subject rather than being a flat overlay filter.
Is the output good enough to print and frame?
Yes for typical wall-art sizes. Generate at the aspect ratio closest to your frame, and choose lower-detail backgrounds if you want the subject's brushwork to dominate. Very large formats may benefit from upscaling afterward.
Do portraits or landscapes convert better into oil paint?
Both excel in different ways: portraits gain classical gallery presence with warm skin glazing, while landscapes pick up expressive skies and layered foliage strokes. Busy snapshots with mixed lighting are the hardest to translate.
Can I choose the color palette of the painting?
Yes — describe it in the prompt. Ask for warm Rembrandt-style browns, bright impressionist color, or muted contemporary tones, and Wan 2.6 will glaze the whole canvas accordingly.
