Quick answer: when should you use Oil Painting Effect?
Use Imagic AI Oil Painting Effect when you need to turn a photo into an oil-painting style image. It is best for portraits, landscapes, and photos with clear, distinct color regions, runs in the browser workflow, and does not require signup for the core tool.
A brush size of 5-9 gives a recognizable painted texture without turning the subject into an abstract blur.
