What should I prepare before starting?

Start with a description of the subject, composition, and visual style. Nano Banana 2 also accepts reference images for guidance; identify which details matter before generating.

How is this different from photo to oil painting?

This workflow invents the subject and composition from your description. Photo to oil painting starts with an existing image whose defining forms and identity you want to preserve.

Does generation use credits?

Generation uses credits. Check the selected model’s price and your plan before generating. Regenerating a variation also uses credits; review the first result before making more.

Shape the creative brief

Composition

Place the main subject and choose the relationship between foreground and background.

Paint handling

Describe blended passages, visible strokes, or impasto-like texture.

Light and palette

Use a coherent color family and one understandable light direction.

Two prompts to start with

Use these written examples as a starting point. Adapt the subject and references to your project; generated results will vary.

First direction

An oil-painting-style still life of copper vessels and white linen on a dark wooden table. Warm side lighting, visible brushwork, deep umber shadows, balanced quiet composition.

Another approach

A broad coastal scene rendered with thick expressive brush marks, pale cliffs, blue-gray water, and a small warm patch of evening sky. Strong tonal structure, no text.

Finishing the result

This produces a digital painting-style image. Physical painting, canvas production, and print color preparation are separate steps.
