Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

A night scene painted entirely in a single blue, running from near black in the shadows to a pale wash where light falls: an empty road, a parked car, a standing figure and a long cast shadow, all described tonally with no second colour anywhere in the image. Headlights are the only bright element. Even grain over the whole surface, generous empty space around the figure, quiet and lonely.

Tips

  • 1One colour only, stated twice. Warm headlights will creep in otherwise.
  • 2The long cast shadow is what makes the light feel real.
  • 3Keep the figure small. The emptiness is the subject.
