How to Turn a Photo Into a Painting

Photo to painting repaints a picture you upload in the medium you choose, from thick oil on canvas to soft watercolor, and keeps the people, pets and places recognizable. It is a quick way to make a portrait for your wall or a gift.

Turn a Photo Into a Painting in 5 Steps

  1. 1Open the Easy-Peasy.AI Image Generator
  2. 2Upload the photo you want to paint
  3. 3Name the medium, for example "an oil painting on canvas with visible brushstrokes"
  4. 4Add "keep the faces the same" so the painting still looks like your photo
  5. 5Generate, then try another medium or a variation

Painting Tips

  • •Name the medium: "oil on canvas", "watercolor", "acrylic", "gouache", "pastel"
  • •Describe the brushwork: "thick impasto", "loose washes", "palette knife texture"
  • •Set the mood with light and color: "warm golden light", "soft pastel palette"
  • •Ask for "a classical Renaissance portrait" or "an impressionist garden scene" for a period look

Best Practices

  • ✓Start from a sharp, well-lit photo with faces large in the frame
  • ✓Watercolor suits pets and landscapes; oil suits portraits
  • ✓Leave space around the subject if you plan to frame the print
  • ✓Upscale the image before ordering a large canvas print

By far the best compilation AI utility

By far the best compilation AI utility out there. Period. We have tried multiple platforms that would work for us - a small business - and it was a bit overwhelming two years ago. Easy-Peasy has been a godsend. So many freaking tools and no fewer than 10 (of the 200) are ones we use at least on a weekly basis. Ironically, their human support is one of the most appreciated elements.

Very Good AI…

I really liked the easy-peasy AI service. It's a great tool, but I also had to ask them for a refund because I chose the wrong plan, and they were very quick to respond to my request. They looked into my case and I got my money back without any problems. Of course, I will continue to use it for my projects.
