Recipe

The examples above were generated with Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5. The recipes below are written for GPT Image and Flux, so treat the settings as a starting point rather than the exact run.

A description in plain sentences. This is the version to start with, and it works on any current image model. Settings below are the ones we used on GPT Image; treat them as a starting point.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A landscape reduced to pure atmosphere: layered mountain forms and one small distant figure emerging from and dissolving into soft airbrushed bands of colour, with no hard edge anywhere in the frame. Warm red bleeding into cool grey, a single faint tree silhouette as the only detail, everything else soft gradient. More like weather than a scene, quiet and empty.

The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips

  • 1No hard edges anywhere. State it plainly or one crisp ridge appears.
  • 2One tiny detail gives the softness something to measure against.
  • 3Two colours bleeding is enough. A third turns it muddy.
