This model mainly presents an artistic painting effect. The purpose of my making it is to create the brushstroke feel of computer painting. I have already embedded sdxl_vae, so you can use it without loading the VAE at all. I recommend:

Sampling Method: DPM++ 3M SDE Exponential, DPM++ SDE Karras, DPM++ 2M SDE Karras, DPM++ 2M Karras, Euler A.

Steps: 20 to 40

CFG scale 4-10 (preferably around cfg 6-7)
