Canvases and Palette Gauge
Official Lodestone Job Guide (Always up-to-date)
The pictomancer channels offensive elemental magic by creating a variety of artwork. In addition to hard-cast spells, they also have several instant cast actions, similar to other magical ranged DPS. They can also be able to buff nearby allies, similar to Red Mage or Summoner. They do not have access to a resurrection spell.
Canvases and Palette Gauge is Pictomancer's Job Gauge.
Canvases
Pictomancer eschews the stave for a brush, painting their imaginings upon a canvas and bringing them to life through magic. By utilizing the Creature Canvas, the Weapon Canvas, and the Landscape Canvas, a variety of effects can be produced.
Creature Canvas
Creature Motifs are painted on the Creature Canvas and can be rendered to life through 
Living Muse, simultaneously granting a depiction of the rendered motif. Assembling Depiction of Pom and Depiction of Wings creates a Moogle Portrait, allowing the execution of 
Mog of the Ages.
Executing Creature Motif and Living Muse in succession to assemble Depiction of Pom, Depiction of Wings, Depiction of Claw, and Depiction of Fangs creates a Madeen Portrait, allowing the execution of 
Retribution of the Madeen.
Weapon Canvas / Landscape Canvas
|
 Weapon Motifs are painted on the Weapon Canvas and can be rendered to life through  Steel Muse. When a hammer is painted on the canvas,  Striking Muse can be performed, allowing the execution of  Hammer Stamp.

Palette Gauge
The Palette Gauge and White Paint can be accumulated by executing certain aetherhue spells. Once your palette is sufficiently saturated with aether, you can consume a portion of the Palette Gauge to execute 
Subtractive Palette, which will temporarily alter the properties of your aetherhue spells, significantly enhancing them. Additionally, White Paint can be spent to execute 
Holy in White.
Upon learning the level 90 trait 
Enhanced Palette, the use of Subtractive Palette will grant you Monochrome Tones, which converts one splash of White Paint into Black Paint, allowing the execution of 
Comet in Black.
Palette Gauge: Accumulates upon the landing of 
Water in Blue or 
Water II in Blue.
White Paint: Granted upon the landing of Water in Blue, 
Thunder in Magenta, Water II in Blue, or 
Thunder II in Magenta.
Black Paint: Granted from stacks of White Paint while under the effect of Monochrome Tones.
