Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Repaint this photo in the style of Vincent van Gogh. Keep the face, hairstyle and expression recognizable. Thick swirling impasto brushstrokes, vivid blues and yellows, a starry swirling background, visible texture of oil paint. Vertical 3:4 portrait, no text.
What the Van Gogh look gives you
The prompt asks for thick impasto brushstrokes, visible oil paint texture and a swirling night sky in saturated blue and yellow. The AI repaints skin and clothing as short directional strokes, so the picture feels hand painted even at full size. It borrows the mood of post-impressionist painting and does not copy any single canvas. The frame is vertical 3:4, which suits a framed print or a phone wallpaper. Hair often becomes a flowing mass of curved strokes, which is part of the charm.
Keeping the face readable
Heavy paint can swallow small features. To protect likeness, send a sharp photo where your eyes are open and lit. Skip sunglasses and deep shadows under a hat brim, because the AI will paint them as dark blocks. If the first result looks too abstract, add a caption asking for a clearer face with softer strokes on the skin. Compare the original and the result side by side, and run again if the nose or mouth shifted. Each rerun draws fresh strokes, so two runs can look quite different.
Tips
- Pick a photo with a plain background. A busy room turns into noisy swirls around the face.
- Faces with strong light on one side keep their shape better under thick paint.
- Ask for a color split in the caption, such as night blue background and warm yellow highlights.
- Zoom in before printing. Stroke texture looks best on a large print, and fine detail can look soft on a small one.
- If the sky takes over the face, rerun with the caption: calmer background, face in focus.
Questions and answers
Is this a real Van Gogh painting?
No. It is a new image made in the manner of his brushwork and palette. The bot has no link to any museum or estate.
Will the sky always be starry?
The prompt asks for a starry swirling background. You can ask for a different background in the caption, though the AI may still add swirls.
Can I use a group photo?
A single person works best. In a group the AI may merge faces or paint some of them less clearly.
Can I print the result on canvas?
You can download the image and take it to a print shop. Check the sharpness at full size first, since the bot does not print anything.
Do I need to know how to write prompts?
No. The style is built in and the button applies it. Captions are optional.
Does the bot work in English?
Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch and replies in English. You can switch the language any time with /lang.
