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 straight documentary photograph of a large painted mural on the side of an old brick building: a simple bold graphic shape painted in two or three flat colours with visible paint drips running down from it, filling a plain section of wall. Windows, downpipes, fire escapes and weathering around it, flat overcast daylight, the camera squared up to the wall. No lettering, no logos.

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

Send the example as an input image to the images.edits endpoint alongside the prompt, or attach it in ChatGPT. It follows composition closely, so describe your subject firmly or it will copy the example.

Tips

  • 1Square the camera to the wall. Any angle turns it into a travel photo.
  • 2Drips are what make it read as painted rather than printed.
  • 3Keep the graphic simple. Detail gets lost at building scale.
