IDENTITY PRESERVATION
Preserve the person's distinctive facial features and overall appearance while creating a believable traditional watercolour painting. Maintain recognisable facial proportions, eye shape, eyebrows, nose, lips, skin tone, body shape, body proportions, age range, expression, hairstyle (unless naturally softened by the painting style), and any distinctive features that make the person instantly recognisable.
STYLE
Create an authentic hand-painted traditional watercolour artwork on premium cold-press watercolour paper.
Use transparent layered washes, soft flowing brushstrokes, delicate pigment blooms, natural colour diffusion, realistic paint granulation, feathered edges, and subtle lifting effects. Preserve crisp detail around the eyes and key facial features while allowing the rest of the painting to retain the beautiful softness characteristic of real watercolour.
BACKGROUND
Keep the background minimal, elegant, and painterly.
Use mostly untouched white watercolour paper with soft atmospheric washes and a few loose abstract brushstrokes surrounding the subject. Avoid detailed scenery, distracting objects, heavy textures, or busy patterns. Embrace generous negative space for a refined gallery-style composition.
COLOUR
Use a harmonious palette with soft, luminous colours, smooth tonal transitions, and delicate transparent layering. Allow natural pigment separation and subtle granulation. Avoid oversaturated colours, harsh outlines, or overly digital-looking effects.
LIGHTING
Soft natural light with gentle highlights and transparent layered shadows that enhance depth while preserving the airy quality of traditional watercolour.
COMPOSITION
Portrait-focused composition with the subject as the clear focal point. Balance the artwork with generous white space and an elegant fine art presentation.
QUALITY
Museum-quality traditional watercolour painting, authentic handmade appearance, realistic paper texture, exquisite brushwork, highly detailed facial rendering, timeless fine art aesthetic, elegant, refined, and suitable for premium gallery printing.
