Style
Oil painting AI generator
The Oil painting style renders your prompt in thick, visible brushstrokes with palette-knife texture on canvas, in rich classical colour like a gallery piece.

What the style does
Thick impasto brushstrokes on textured canvas, like a classical oil painting. Pick the Oil painting style in the image or video studio.
Good for
- Portraits and pet portraits
- Wall art and prints
- Elegant, timeless brand imagery
Example prompt
Type this in the studio with Oil painting selected:
Portrait of an old fisherman in a wool sweater, warm side light, dark background
Prompt tips
- Classic subjects work well: portraits, still life, landscapes
- Ask for a dark background to make colours glow
- Mention the time of day for a clear light direction

Generate
The credit cost is shown before you generate, and it is the same with or without a style.
What it costs
A style is free to use: it only changes the prompt, so the price is the normal price of the generation.
For example, one Seedream 4.5 image is 2 credits and a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip at 720p is 15 credits, with or without a style.
Questions
Can I turn my own photo into an oil painting?
Yes. Upload your photo as a reference image in the image studio, pick Oil painting and describe the scene you want.
Does a style cost extra credits?
No. A style only adds words to the prompt that is sent, so you pay the normal price: for example 2 credits for a Seedream 4.5 image.
Does the style replace my prompt?
No. Your prompt stays exactly as you wrote it. The style is added on top to set the look.
Can I switch styles on the same prompt?
Yes. Keep the prompt, pick a different style and generate again to compare looks side by side.
