Argu turns any reference image into a clear, step-by-step painting plan. Unlike generic tutorials, it’s tailored to your exact image, medium, and supplies. Multiple AI models analyze each image and combine insights into one refined guide, with custom color mixing, brush recommendations, grid overlays, and studio-ready exports.
Hey Product Hunt — I’m Jonathan, the creator of Argu.
I’m a relatively new painter, and for a long time I kept running into the same wall: I’d have a reference photo I loved, but no clear idea where to start or how to translate it onto canvas. Tutorials were either too generic or didn’t match what I was working on, and private lessons just weren’t realistic for me.
So I built the tool I wish I’d had.
With Argu, you upload a reference image and get a clear, structured painting plan tailored to that image. It includes a custom color palette with mixing guidance, techniques specific to your medium (acrylic, oil, watercolor, or gouache), brush recommendations, and a step-by-step walkthrough from blank canvas to final details. You can also generate a grid overlay to help with composition and transfer.
Behind the scenes, multiple AI models analyze each image independently and then combine their insights into a single, refined guide. You can save your own paint collection so recommendations match what you actually use, export printable guides for the studio, and even upload your finished piece for thoughtful feedback.
The free tier lets you try the full workflow. Pro unlocks deeper features, and the first 100 people who sign up from Product Hunt can enjoy a free 1-month Pro trial using the code PRODUCTHUNT.
I’d genuinely love your feedback — especially from painters who’ve felt stuck staring at a reference photo before.
Happy painting,
Jonathan
