How do I make a mockup of a watercolour painting?

Scan or photograph the painting flat, upload it, give its size, and choose a mount and frame. Every room on this page hangs it at that size; pick one and download it.

Can I show the deckled edge of the paper?

Yes. Choose a float mount and crop the scan to the edge of the sheet, and the whole sheet floats on the mount board.

Does it work for drawings and gouache too?

Yes. Any flat work on paper: drawing, gouache, pastel, ink or mixed media.

Yes. Upload your work and see it in every room on this page with no account; without one you can add two works. A free account opens the full library of 730+ rooms and includes 5 downloads. Paid plans are for higher volume, and nothing on this page needs one.

Can I use the images commercially?

Yes. You can use them for any purpose, including shop listings such as Etsy, your website, social media, advertising and print. There is no watermark on any plan.

Will it change my work?

No. Room images draw your work from the image you upload, never redrawn or repainted. AI only runs in the app when you ask it to change the scene.

How works on paper are shown

The mounts, frames and rooms that suit watercolours and drawings.

Window mount

The usual way to show a watercolour: a cream or white mount with a window and a bevelled edge. It opens with a walnut frame and a cream mount.

Float mount for a deckled edge

Show the whole sheet, torn or deckled edges included, floating on the mount board.

Small works that still read

An A4 or A5 sketch hangs at its own size, and a wide mount and frame give it presence on the wall.

Warm, lived-in rooms

Studies, armchairs by a fireplace, bookshelves and yellow walls: rooms where works on paper are hung.

Your painting, untouched

Washes, granulation and pencil lines come from your own scan, never redrawn or smoothed.

Close-ups

In the app, a closer view of the work in the room keeps the texture of the paper where the room allows.

Why it works

Built for the art trade, not templates

Shows the work as it will hang

A buyer sees the painting mounted and framed in a room, not a flat scan.

Every wash kept

The painting is drawn from your own scan, so the colour and the paper’s texture stay as they are.

Small works with presence

A wide mount and the right room make an A4 study look as considered as it is.

Free, no watermark

Try it with no account and download clean JPGs you can use anywhere.
