Each pair is the same sentence on the same model. The left frame has no style; the right one is Palette Knife. That gap is what the style adds.

The same fixed test subjects run through every style, so you see what Palette Knife does rather than what the subject brings.
Palette Knife paints your subject with a blade instead of a brush: thick oil paint pushed and scraped into sculpted ridges, flat planes of color catching the light at their edges, and a bold palette built on hot orange against cobalt blue. The framing is cropped and dynamic, as if the painter stepped in close and worked fast. You can almost feel the texture under your fingers.
You write the subject; the style supplies the paint. It is superb for city streets, harbors, flowers and food — a café terrace at night, a bunch of sunflowers in a jug, boats on choppy water — and it gives portraits and animals real presence: a man in a wool coat on a windy street, a cat in a pool of lamplight. The style keeps the pose, outfit and details you wrote and builds them in thick slabs of paint.
Use it for art prints and wall decor, restaurant and café branding, book and album covers, gallery-style social posts and gifts. For wild color laid down flat, use Fauve Color; for traditional glazing and chiaroscuro, Classical Oil; for bright outdoor sunlight, Plein Air Light.
For this composition, we recommend 4:3, with 3:4 as another framing option. It also works on an uploaded image: in image-to-image mode it repaints your photo as a thick palette-knife painting and keeps the composition, pose and clothing unchanged. Street scenes and flowers convert with the most texture.
Subjects to paste as they are: “a café terrace on a cobbled street at night”, “a bunch of sunflowers in a blue jug on a table”, “a sailboat on choppy water under a stormy sky”. Strong light makes the ridges of paint stand out.
