Describe the impressionist style

Type your instruction: 'transform into impressionist painting with visible brushstrokes and pastel colors' or 'apply Monet-style impressionist filter with soft edges and light tones.' Be specific about brushstroke visibility, color palette, and texture. No marking needed—the AI understands the whole image should be transformed.

Tip: Specify color mood: 'warm sunset tones' or 'cool blue-green palette' for better results.

Generate and review

Click Generate and watch your photo transform into impressionist art. Zoom in to check brushstroke texture, color blending, and overall artistic effect. The AI preserves composition while adding painterly qualities.
Refine with markers if needed

If specific areas need stronger or softer brushstrokes, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional—most transformations work without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not required. Try without them first.

If something looks off

AI changed wrong area or applied filter unevenly

Why: The AI couldn't determine which areas need stronger or softer treatment from description alone.

Try: Tap markers on areas that need adjustment, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'apply stronger brushstrokes HERE' or 'soften THIS area specifically.'

Result looks too blurry, not painterly enough

Why: The AI interpreted 'soft' as blur instead of impressionist brushwork.

Try: Change prompt to 'transform into impressionist painting with VISIBLE brushstrokes and distinct color dabs, not blurred'

Try This →

Tip: Words like 'visible brushstrokes' and 'painterly texture' create authentic impressionist look versus mere blur.

Colors are too muted or washed out

Why: Impressionist style was applied too heavily, reducing color saturation.

Try: Add to prompt: 'with vibrant colors and strong color contrast maintaining original brightness'

Try This →

Tip: Impressionism can be vibrant—specify 'bright' or 'vivid' to preserve color intensity.

Details are completely lost

Why: The brushstroke effect was too aggressive for the image complexity.

Try:

Modify prompt: 'apply gentle impressionist filter preserving main subject details with selective brushwork on background'

Try This →

Tip: For portraits or important subjects, specify which areas should remain detailed.

Doesn't look impressionist, just looks filtered

Why: Generic filter language doesn't guide the AI toward authentic impressionist techniques.

Try: Use specific terminology: 'broken color technique, dappled light, visible separate brushstrokes like Monet or Renoir'

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning impressionist masters or specific techniques produces more authentic results.
