Step 1
Upload a photo with soft light
Portraits, flowers, pets, and landscapes suit watercolor best. Gentle, diffused lighting in the source translates into smoother washes, while harsh flash photos produce muddier pigment transitions.

How to use Watercolor
Step 2
Adjust the wash and paper feel
Wan 2.6 defaults to transparent washes, soft edges, and warm paper texture. Ask for looser wet-on-wet bleeds, tighter botanical detail, or cooler tones to change the painting's character.
Step 3
Generate the painting and download
Render the watercolor, check how edges bleed around your subject, and export square or portrait sizes for cards, prints, and wall art. Rerun for a different wash balance.

FAQ
Watercolor FAQ
How does the tool simulate real watercolor behavior?
Wan 2.6 reproduces the medium's signatures — transparent layered washes, pigment pooling at edges, paper grain showing through light areas — mapped onto your photo's shapes, so results look painted rather than blurred.
Will the white paper background be preserved?
By default the style keeps airy, light-toned negative space like traditional watercolor. If you want a fully painted background instead, describe the scene you want washed in behind your subject.
What subjects make the prettiest watercolor conversions?
Flowers, pets, children's portraits, and soft landscapes are favorites because organic edges flatter the medium. Hard geometric subjects like cars convert too, but read as loose architectural sketches rather than classic watercolor.
Can I print the results as greeting cards?
Yes — export at 4:5 or 3:4 for standard card fronts and 1:1 for square prints. The paper-texture rendering holds up well at typical card and small-frame print sizes.
