The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A gently elevated view of a landscape drawn in soft dusty pastel: rolling ground in pink and terracotta, a pale winding river running from the top of the frame to the bottom, a handful of small round trees along the banks and human figures reduced to tiny specks. Perspective halfway between a map and a picture, warm desaturated palette, no strong shadows, a fine even grain over the whole image.

Tips
- 1Halfway between a map and a picture is the phrase that lands it.
- 2Specks, not people. Detail on the figures breaks the scale.
- 3Ask for grain or it comes back too clean.
