How to use this starting point
Prepare your input
Choose one scene, a focal subject and a small colour palette. This style starts from text; use the linked style-transfer tool for an existing picture.
What you can change
Change palette, wash strength, botanical detail and time of day. Reduce the number of subjects for a quieter storybook frame.
Create and review
- Choose Use style and replace the cottage scene with your own subject while retaining the watercolour and paper-grain cues.
- Describe broad washes, soft edges and one light direction. Keep enough open space around the main subject.
- Inspect whether the focal subject remains readable at the intended display size and whether paper texture overwhelms detail.
Limits and troubleshooting
Soft washes can merge small features. Ask for a clearer focal silhouette and lighter background texture if faces or objects become indistinct.
