AI painting critique, with pointers on your own canvas

Photograph your painting and get a critique of composition, values, colour and technique, with pointers tied to specific areas of the image — plus a technique lesson for what to try next.

What you get

Checks your photo, not just the painting

Glare, blur, a tilted angle or a colour cast are flagged and allowed for, so you're not marked down for a poor photo.

Overlays for painters

Toggle thirds, a values (black & white) view, squint (blurred, to see the big shapes) and notan (pushed to pure black and white).

Whose eyes you see it through

Get the critique from an art teacher, a fellow artist, an art critic, a gallery owner deciding what to hang, or an everyday viewer.

Your tone and level

Choose gentle, balanced or blunt, and pitch it from beginner to professional. Add optional 1–10 scores if you want them.

Revision compare

Upload your next session's progress on the same piece and get told exactly what changed and improved.

A technique lesson, not just a verdict

Every critique ends with a specific exercise, often with a vetted YouTube tutorial for the technique it's teaching.

FAQ

What does Artluni check when critiquing a painting?

Composition, light and values, colour, drawing and proportion, technique and handling, and overall impact — each point tied to a specific area of your photo of the painting.

Will it tell me if my photo of the painting is a problem?

Yes — Artluni checks the photo itself for glare, blur, a tilted angle or colour cast, and allows for it in the critique (or asks for a better photo if it's too poor to judge fairly).

Can I track progress across versions of the same painting?

Yes — upload a new version as you work on a piece, and Artluni compares it with the earlier one and tells you what improved.

Is there a free AI painting critique online?

There's no free tier or trial — Artluni Premium is £4.99 a month, including VAT, and you can cancel anytime. You can view real example critiques for free first.
