GPT Image
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 highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A quiet painted coastal scene: a strip of flat blue sea, a green bank, and one simple element such as a white sail or a folded towel. Flat matte gouache with clean edges and no visible brush texture, simple slightly flattened perspective, even shadowless afternoon light. One small figure or object as the subject, everything else calm and empty. No line work.
