Add a photo of yourself and name the look: dark background, soft light from one side, rich cloth, a calm face. Spark builds the oil painting portrait from it.

- A costume idea: velvet cloak, white ruff, gold chain.

- Describe the portrait. Clothes, backdrop and mood.
- Check the Draft. Ask for up to 4 versions. The price is on the Make button.
- Tap Make and save your favourite.

Tips
- Name the light. One soft side light gives the painted feel.
- Keep the background dark. It makes the face stand out.
- Choose a calm expression. Smiles look modern. A calm face feels old master.
- Skip named artists. Describe the look instead.
