How it works

Follow the instructions on each page and click the relevant buttons. Once your image has been generated, you’ll see a preview with protective strips across it. These strips make the preview harder to copy and reuse. They are not an error and will not appear in your purchased PDF. You can be confident that your photo is not published in a public gallery or shared with other customers. For details about how your photos are processed, please read our Privacy Policy.

What’s included in your PDF?

A numbered painting template, a colour reference image, a colour palette, a practice page and tips for painting and mixing colours.

Follow the numbers and make it your own

The numbers help your child get started, while leaving room for their own choices. L and S markings encourage them to explore lighter shades and shadows. Small areas without numbers let them choose a suitable colour using the reference image and painting tips.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a drawing or another image instead of a photo?

Yes. You can upload your own photo, drawing or other image.

Does my photo need to be perfect?

It does not need to be a professional photograph. An ordinary phone photo can work, provided the main subject is recognisable. If you are unsure, use the free preview to judge the result before purchasing.

Will I receive a canvas and paints?

At present, you are purchasing a digital PDF package. Printed canvases and complete painting kits are coming soon.

Do I pay before seeing the preview?

No. Your first AI preview is free. The final PDF package costs £12.99.

Which age group is this version designed for?

Children aged 7–12. An adult may need to help with smaller details. A separate version for ages 4–6 is in development.
