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.
This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.
A landscape rendered as posterised colour, every gradation of light collapsed into a handful of flat tones so cliffs, scrub and water become interlocking shapes of electric blue and acid green. Detail surviving only at the edges of those shapes, the sky a single solid field, colour deliberately unnatural while the forms stay accurate. No gradients anywhere, hard edges between tones. Subject: a river gorge between green cliffs.

Tips
- 1Say how few tones. Four or five per colour is the sweet spot.

- 3Ban gradients or it drifts back to a painting.
