The Painted Smile
At 1st level you are gifted a special item: A painted mask. This
mask is a design of your choice and binds to the warlocks
face and becomes one with them. The mask cannot be
removed but does not hinder your ability to speak or eat as
the mask operates as your new face.
This mask infuses the warlock with powers of the painted
world granting the ability that once per short rest the warlock
may choose to negate (half warlock level rounded down +
Charisma modifier) damage taken as the wound flecks off as
paint chips. The warlock also gains the ability to secrete paint
pigment from their fingernails and gains advantage on
Charisma(Performance) checks only when painting, as their
fingers are more dexterous and precise than any brush.

 We Are All Paintings
At 14th level, you cause a nearby location to the target to
become painted and begin dragging the target into your
patrons realm. As an action, you may make a creature within
20 feet of you make a Strength saving throw against your
Warlock Spell save. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8
psychic damage and is restrained for 1 minute. On a
successful save, the target takes half damage and is not
restrained. A creature restrained by the painting can use its
action to make a Strength save against your Warlock spell
save to break free. On a success, it frees itself. On a failure,
the creature takes an additional 1d8 psychic damage for each
time it has failed to break free (1 failed save is 1d8, 2 failed
saves are 2d8, etc.), if the target would die from this damage
instead they are pulled into the painting realm creating either
a painting of the target on that surface which can never be
removed or a small unfading portrait of the target on canvas.

Invocations:

Prerequisite: 6th level, The Canvas Edge feature
When you use your The Canvas Edge ability you may have
it affect creatures other than yourself. The range extends to
20 and can be activated underneath others if a shadow is
present there. If put beneath a target, the target must make a
DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall through the shadow and
out of another of your choice. As an action, you may also
extend a shadow in 5 in any direction, acting as though you
are making a painting stroke.
A Derivative Form
Prerequisite: 5th level
Once a month upon your death the mask can harbor your
soul, keeping it safe. On death, your body decays into dusts of
various pigments which could be used as paint bases (5g to
the right buyer). 1d6 days after the mask harbors your soul it
Reincarnates you by drawing the color out of the surrounding
area to make your body. This color drain is permanent to
inanimate objects but creatures restore color in 1d4 days.
