We quite literally have no statement on that being the case. There is no measure of how difficult it is to create a Hee-man Bean-like creature in a painting, skill-wise or otherwise.
The only thing they say is that it took Aline to make an entire, autonomous city capable of reproduction and critical thinking as well as advancing of their own technology.
But again, it took an 8 year old child to make an entire society of perfectly adaptable humanoid beings capable of having their own personalities and thoughts.
Clea, at a similar age, was able to make entire ecosystems of fucked up psychodelic monsters with all sorts of different effects to the surrounding laws of physics.

I find it hard to believe the gap between "looks like a doll/monster" and "looks like a human" while everything else functions relatively the same is so big that it literally goes from 8 year old child to the leader of the entire fucking guild of Painters.
