How Paint by Light works

Light guides.
You paint.

Think digital paint by numbers, without tiny numbers to find. We project one colour at a time, so you always know what to paint next.

Good to know

Questions,
answered.

Do I really paint it myself?

Yes. Vullow prepares your photo and projects six colour guides directly onto the canvas, but you hold the brush and paint every layer yourself.

What if I have never painted before?

That is exactly what Paint by Light is designed for. The projector shows each colour layer on your canvas, so you simply paint over the illuminated shapes at your own pace. It feels like digital paint by numbers, without searching for tiny numbers.

What kind of photo should I choose?

Portraits, pets, travel memories and other meaningful images are all strong starting points.

Do I take my painting home?

Yes. The finished artwork is yours to take home after your session.

How long is the experience and what is included?

Allow two to three hours for your visit. The canvas, paints, projected guidance and all other materials are included.

Where is Vullow Studios?

Enter WIHH Gallery through door 73 at Reguliersdwarsstraat 73, 1017 BK Amsterdam. Gallery staff will lead you to the studio.
