Oil Impasto
Golden retriever portrait
Loaded brush ridges and full-strength pigment — the closest thing to a shop-bought kit.

Ten presets, and the sheets they produce
Each pair below is a finished painting next to the numbered outline our code extracted from it. Hover or tap the picture to swap between the two. Nothing here is a mock-up — every outline was produced by the same pipeline that runs on the Create page.
How to read a pair
The painting shows the look a preset aims for. The outline shows what you actually print: closed areas, each carrying the number of the colour that fills it. Presets with softer edges produce more areas; flat presets produce fewer and larger ones.
Soft Watercolour
Mountain lake with a rowing boat
Translucent washes and gentle edges. Kind to landscapes, still life and anything with sky.
Flat Poster
Vintage bicycle and wildflowers
Solid blocks, no gradients. The easiest to paint and the hardest to get wrong.
Impressionist
Lavender field at sunset
Warm and cool dabs sitting side by side. Many small areas — for painters with patience.
Vintage Muted
Sailing boat on calm water
Dusty sage, oat and faded navy. Quiet on a wall, forgiving in the hand.
Bright Cartoon
Tabby cat on a patterned armchair
Clean outlines and cheerful flat fills. The one to paint with children.
Nordic Pastel
Red cabin in deep snow
Powder blue, snow white and grey, with a single warm accent doing all the work.
Bold Pop
Sunflowers and watermelon
Thick contours and complementary colours. Reads from across the room.
Botanical Gouache
Monstera and ferns in a ceramic pot
Matte opaque layers and tidy leaf shapes. Satisfying to block in.
Coastal Light
Lighthouse above a bright sea
A clean horizon and broad bands of colour. The quickest of the ten to finish.
Straight from a photograph
Five more sheets, and the tinted previews that go with them
These started as ordinary photographs rather than paintings. The middle image in each row is the tinted preview — the outline with its colours dropped in at low strength, which is how you check a sheet before committing paint to it.
Golden retriever on a jetty
24 colours · the softest end of the range, where fur turns into large readable bands.
Sunflower field, figure from behind
24 colours · strong backlight, so most of the work is in four or five warm steps.
Cat on a sunlit windowsill
24 colours · hard shadow edges make this one of the easiest subjects to follow.
Harbour boats at midday
12 colours · flat hulls and stone, very few areas, an afternoon's painting.
Alpine lake at dawn
12 colours · the lowest area count we see, because the picture is mostly bands.
