Prepare Your AI Image for a Hand-Painted Interpretation

Lock the version before revisions

Send the final image, not several unlabeled generations. Identify which version controls the composition and use other images only to explain specific changes.

Mark artifacts that should disappear

Circle unwanted fingers, broken architecture, stray objects or garbled text. Specify the correction instead of assuming the painter can infer the intended object.

Choose what becomes brushwork

Smooth gradients, glowing effects and tiny digital textures will behave differently in paint. Say where you want visible strokes and where detail should remain restrained.

Yes, we paint AI-generated images by hand. Send the file you made in Midjourney, DALL-E, ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion or any other generator, and our studio in Dafen Art Village, Shenzhen, paints it in oil or acrylic on canvas. It is never printed. Any size, no minimum order, and we fix the odd hands and garbled text before the first brushstroke.

A painting, not a print of your render

You send an AI image. A painter looks at it, mixes the colors, and rebuilds the picture stroke by stroke on premium linen canvas. Nothing is printed on the canvas first. Nothing is traced by machine. The painter builds the image in brushstrokes.

This matters more for AI art than for a photo. A render glows on a screen, but printed on canvas it often looks flat, because a print copies every pixel, including the plastic smoothness. A hand-painted version turns that smoothness into paint texture, edges and mixed color.

You choose oil or acrylic. Both are available for AI-sourced work. Oil gives softer blends. Acrylic holds sharp, flat color.

AI Image Painting References & Permissions

Tell us which tool or source produced the image and whether it incorporates identifiable third-party artwork or characters. We can discuss the intended use and any permissions that need checking.

You made the image, or you have a license to use it. Some free or trial plans give the image a non-commercial license only. Check your generator’s terms and tell us which plan you used.
Characters, brands or logos. Identify any recognizable elements and share the source and intended use so we can discuss permission or adaptations.
Artwork and style references. Share the artist or design reference. We can discuss a reproduction or custom interpretation and any permission needed.

Fixing the image before we paint

AI images have famous problems. Six fingers. A face that melts on one side. Sign text that is almost letters. A painter does not have to copy any of this. We can add or remove elements, correct shapes and recolor areas before painting. In the quote reply we list the changes we plan to make, so the fix list is agreed before you pay a deposit.

Hands and faces

We correct finger counts, straighten a warped jaw, or simplify a face into a painterly suggestion when the render is too broken to save.

Garbled text

We drop the fake lettering, paint a blank sign, or paint the real words you give us. Fake text is the fastest way to make a canvas look like a render.

Floating and duplicated objects

Furniture that does not touch the floor, a second moon, a repeated tree. We remove or anchor them. We can also combine several images into one composition.

Resolution: why 1024 pixels is workable for a painter

Printers need pixels. Painters need shapes and colors. A painter needs to see where the edges are, what the colors are, and how the light falls. A native 1024 by 1024 pixel export shows all of that. The painter is not scaling pixels. The painter makes new marks at full size, and each mark is as sharp as a brush.

Resolution does matter for small detail. If a face is 60 pixels wide in your file, the painter will interpret the rest. If that face is the whole point, upscale the file first, or generate a closer crop of the face and send both. Any upscaler that gives a cleaner view is fine. Send the largest, cleanest version you have, and we tell you in the quote reply if we need more.

Square to rectangle without losing the good part

Most generators default to a square 1:1 image. Most walls want a rectangle. You have three choices.

Keep it square. Any square size, such as 40 by 40 inches, is painted to your measurements at the same rate as our standard sizes.
Crop. We crop your image to a standard size such as 36 by 48 inches, and we tell you where the crop falls before painting starts.
Extend by hand. Want a wide 60 by 40 inch canvas from a square image? The painter continues the sky, wall or field on both sides in the same colors and strokes. Nothing in the original is cut off.

All 60 standard sizes run from 24 by 20 inches up to 80 by 60 inches, plus sets of two and three. Larger single canvases are quoted case by case. For very big walls, see extra-large paintings.

What the painter keeps, and what changes

How much of the AI look survives? The composition and the colors survive. The digital surface does not. That is the point.

Glow and neon. Screens are backlit. Paint is not. A painter gets glow by placing the brightest, cleanest color next to a darker, duller one. Neon pink on a dark ground still reads as neon, but it is pigment, not light. For an extreme color, ask for color matching. We mix the color, photograph it under daylight, and send that photo for your approval before painting.
Smooth gradients. An AI sky fades in perfect steps. In oil the fade is blended by hand and has a soft, slightly uneven life. Our sunrise and sunset collection shows what a painted sky looks like at full size.
Fake texture. Renders that imitate an impasto look can be painted as real impasto, thick enough to cast a shadow. Heavy texture ships stretched or framed, not rolled.

AI Image Painting Requests We Can Discuss

Popular starting points

Your own AI image made on a paid plan. A series of 6 or 20 images for a hotel, restaurant, office or store, painted as one order with one deposit and one approval round. A square image you want as a rectangle. A render with broken hands or fake text.

Let’s discuss the details

Copyrighted characters, brand mascots, logos or celebrity faces. Images prompted as the style of a named living or recently deceased artist. Images you found online and did not make or license. A print at print prices.

AI Image Painting Timeline & Approval

Production is 7 to 10 business days for 1 to 5 pieces and 10 to 15 business days for 6 to 20 pieces. Pieces 36 by 48 inches and larger, and heavy texture, sit at the top of their band because thick paint has to dry between layers, and oil takes longer still.

Send the file through the quote form with the size, medium, finish, and any fixes you want. WhatsApp replies are usually immediate; email replies usually arrive within 12 hours. We prepare the quote after reviewing your brief and confirm the timeline and proposed fixes.
Deposit. Usually 50 percent to start, by wire transfer, PayPal or card. Terms are confirmed on the invoice.
Progress photos during painting.
Finished photos. We photograph the finished canvas and send the photos. Nothing leaves the studio until you approve.
Balance and release. You pay the balance and the piece is released.

If a piece has a defect that is our fault, we repaint it at our cost. For a first order or a large project we can paint a sample first. The sample is a separate single-piece order, and the larger order is quoted on its own.

Finishes, shipping and payment

Choose rolled in a tube, stretched on solid wood bars, or framed in black, white, wood, silver or gold. All five frame colors cost the same. Rolled canvas is the cheapest way to ship more than about 20 pieces.

For most countries you can choose duties included in the delivery quote (DDP), or pay the duties yourself on arrival. Freight is quoted separately at cost, and we do not add to it. Express by FedEx or DHL takes 5 to 10 business days. Sea freight takes 25 to 40 days. Confirm the applicable requirements for your reference or destination before ordering. Other China-origin measures can apply, so confirm with a customs broker. Full details are on our trade terms page.

AI Image Painting Questions Answered

Should I send the prompt or the generated image?

Send the final image first. The prompt can explain intent but does not reliably specify the exact composition you chose. Label any alternate versions and mark which details should come from each.

Will a hand-painted version reproduce every pixel and glow effect?

It translates the image into physical paint rather than reproducing pixels. Discuss which edges, colors and focal details must stay close, and which digital effects can become brushwork or texture. Agree on that interpretation before painting.

Can I get my Midjourney image painted as a real oil painting, not printed?

Yes. We paint from any AI generator, including Midjourney, DALL-E, ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. You send the file, and a painter rebuilds it by hand in oil or acrylic on premium linen canvas. Nothing is printed or transferred onto the canvas. You pick oil or acrylic, the size, and the finish. Trade pricing applies from one piece, and there is no minimum order.

My AI image is only 1024 pixels. Is that enough to paint a big canvas?

Usually, yes. A painter reads shape, color and light, not pixel count, so a native 1024 by 1024 export gives enough to paint a large canvas. Resolution matters only for small details you care about, such as a face that is a few dozen pixels wide. For those, upscale the file or send a closer crop as well. We look at your file and tell you in the quote reply if we need more.

The hands and the text in my image are wrong. Can the painter fix them?

Yes. We can add or remove elements, correct shapes and recolor areas before painting. Extra fingers, warped faces, floating objects and duplicated items are corrected or removed. Garbled text is dropped, replaced with a blank surface, or replaced with real words you give us. We list the planned fixes in the quote reply so the fix list is agreed before you pay a deposit.

My image is square. Can you make it a rectangle without cutting off the good part?

Yes. You have three options. Keep it square and have it painted at any square size, such as 40 by 40 inches, at the same rate as a standard size. Crop it to a standard rectangle, and we tell you where the crop falls first. Or have the painter extend the background by hand on both sides so nothing in the original is lost. All 60 standard sizes and any custom size cost the same rate.

Will you paint an image made in the style of a living artist?

Tell us which tool or source produced the image and whether it incorporates identifiable third-party artwork or characters. We can discuss the intended use and any permissions that need checking. Related guidance: abstract.

I made the image on a free plan. Will you paint it, and can I sell the painting?

Tell us which tool or source produced the image and whether it incorporates identifiable third-party artwork or characters. We can discuss the intended use and any permissions that need checking.

How long does it take, and do I see a photo before it ships?

Production is 7 to 10 business days for 1 to 5 pieces and 10 to 15 business days for 6 to 20. Large pieces of 36 by 48 inches and up, and heavy texture, take the top of the band because oil has to dry. We send progress photos during painting and photograph the finished canvas before release. Nothing ships until you approve. Express delivery then takes 5 to 10 business days.

What does a hand-painted AI image cost compared with a canvas print?

More, because a painter spends hours on each canvas and a printer spends minutes. We do not publish fixed prices, since the quote depends on size, medium, finish, texture and quantity. Trade pricing applies from one piece, and the rate improves at 6 pieces and again at 21. Mixed designs count together, so a set of different AI images for one venue is priced as one order. Send the file for a quote.

Oil or acrylic?

We paint in acrylic unless you ask for oil. Oil is available on request. Because oil dries slowly between layers, oil pieces take longer.
