What to expect
Faces, proportions, colors and background details can be simplified or invented. The example includes decorative plants and marks rather than an exact photographic background. This is one digital JPEG, not a physical print, editable vector, layered design, before-and-after collage or an authenticated work from a particular folk tradition. Only one fictional adult square example has been reviewed; other subjects and shapes remain unverified.

Common questions.
What kind of photo should I use?
Use one clear photo with a readable subject and pose. A calm background helps. The published example is a fictional adult portrait; pets, busy scenes and groups have not been tested for this recipe.
Will the face and background match exactly?
No. The model redraws the photo as broad flat shapes and a loose artistic impression. Facial details, colors, proportions and decorative background elements may change.
Does it create a physical print or a vector file?
No. It returns one JPEG image. Printing, delivery, editable layers, vector paths and production-ready print specifications are not included.
How does it compare with Duotone Print or Gouache?
Duotone Print emphasizes a limited two-color print look, while Gouache emphasizes matte painted shapes. Folk Art Print adds gently irregular silhouettes, a muted decorative palette and rhythmic marks or leaf motifs. It makes one transformed artwork rather than a before-and-after panel.
What does a generation include?
One generation creates one JPEG image. Photo packs start at $4.99 for 10 generations. Choose square, portrait or landscape. Another version uses another generation. A confirmed failed or blocked creation returns its reserved allowance.
