In 2017, Welshman and his wife Dorota Kobela created a truly unique project - the world's first animated feature film entirely painted in oil paints on canvas "With Love, Vincent", dedicated to the last weeks of Vincent Van Gogh's life. The development was funded by the Polish Film Institute, and the retraining of professional painters into animation artists was partially funded through the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform.
