The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A sharp photographic portrait of a person with their eyes closed, with thick painted marks laid over the top: petals, smears and impasto strokes in orange, cream and deep red that sit on the surface and partly cover the face. The paint keeps its own texture and hard edges, the photograph stays sharp underneath and shows through the gaps. Mixed media, physically painted on a print rather than digitally blended.
