The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A poster screenprinted in a single deep blue ink on cream paper: a simplified coastline with a headland, a scatter of tiny birds and a small table with bread and a bottle in the foreground. Unprinted paper carries the sky and the highlights, no tone or halftone anywhere, something is either printed or it is not. Bold simplified shapes, ink sitting visibly on the surface with a few skips, a large calm empty area in the upper half.
