What to describe
with Watercolor.

A Style guides the treatment of the image. Your prompt supplies the subject, setting, action, and the details that make it yours. Start with a sentence you can picture, then add what matters.

“A red panda botanist carrying a terracotta pot through a greenhouse, morning light.”

The character, prop, place, and light come from the prompt. Watercolor gives those things a visual direction.

  1. Name a restrained palette and paper quality

  2. Leave room for soft edges and color blooms
