Start with a photo that means something — a portrait, a pet, a place, a family moment. PBN Studio turns it into a numbered outline, a colour key, and printable files, all yours to adjust before the first brushstroke.

Palette, detail, and number placement stay adjustable.The method
Take it one step at a time. See what each choice does, adjust as much as you like, and export when it feels right.
1.0 · Photo · Choose the memory
Choose a photo with a clear subject — a portrait, a pet, a wedding, a place that means something to you. Everything is built from your photograph, so the finished painting still looks like the moment you remember.
2.0 · Palette · Decide what stays
Decide how much detail to keep. Fewer colours give you a calmer, simpler painting; more hold onto the soft shifts in faces, fur, flowers, and sky. Nudge it either way until the photo still feels like itself.
3.0 · Pattern · Make it paintable
Your photo becomes numbered shapes you can genuinely paint. Tune the pattern until the subject still comes through and every region gives your brush somewhere clear to go.
4.0 · Paint · Export and begin
Export the numbered outline, the colour key, and high-resolution files ready to print. Then set out your paints, start with a single region, and let the painting arrive a little at a time.
One project gives you the pattern, the key, and the files — everything you need to put the first colour down.
Open PBN Studio, pick a photo, and see what the first pattern looks like. If it isn't quite right, adjust it — that's the whole point. No painting experience needed.
