You can become an artist with the help of our unique “Paint by Light” system. Simply upload an image you would like to paint, such as a portrait of a loved one, a pet, or a favorite memory, and watch it be transformed into a guided painting experience. It works similarly to paint by numbers, but instead of following printed numbers, you paint over projected light. Your image is simplified into six different color areas and projected directly onto the canvas, making it easy to follow step by step. As you paint each section, the artwork gradually comes to life in your own hands. No previous painting experience is needed, making this experience fun, accessible, and relaxing for beginners as well as creative travelers. Whether you come alone, with friends, or as a couple, Vullow offers a unique and memorable activity in Amsterdam. At the end of the session, you take home your own handmade painting: a souvenir that is far more meaningful than anything bought in a shop.
