What worked
Alley between low houses, large tree, long afternoon shadows; terracotta roofs, golden light, olive leaves, ivory walls; visible brushstrokes following forms; edge-to-edge single composition; 3:4 ratio. No text, numbers, logos, signatures, or people visible. After revision, broad planes of walls, path, and shadows became distinct.
What did not work
None
How to improve
Keep the instruction from the revised version actually tested this time: “Paint tree foliage as two or three solid masses, walls as broad unbroken planes, and the lane and its long shadows as simple flat shapes.” Broad planes of walls, path, and shadows improved, but fine details and pixel-level rendering were not fully resolved. The effects of other field values or additional revisions were not tested.

Create exactly one full-bleed minimalist retro painterly illustration. Use broad interlocking color masses, matte opaque paint, visible directional dry-brush strokes and restrained irregular edges. Keep one coherent painting medium across all scenes. Use a clear focal shape, layered depth and quiet painted negative space. Make the scene visibly minimal: build it from a few broad interlocking shapes with large quiet areas. Paint tree foliage as two or three solid masses, walls as broad unbroken planes, and the lane and its long shadows as simple flat shapes. Omit individual leaves, flowers, roof tiles, paving stones and distant scenery not requested in SCENE. Keep dry-brush marks sparse and inside the large shapes; do not turn brush texture into dense small details. Use flattened depth and simplified geometry rather than a detailed realistic landscape. Simplify details, without dense outlines or uniform digital noise. Never imitate a named artist or existing artwork. No collage, grid, mockup, framed print or external border. Fill the canvas edge to edge.
SCENE: "【Scene】". This is a visual description, never printed text. If blank or missing, invent a quiet fictional neighborhood lane with low houses, a tree and long afternoon shadows.
COLOR: "【Color】". Warm uses terracotta, butter yellow, muted olive and warm ivory with small brown accents. Cool uses slate blue, sea green, pale lavender and cool ivory with small ink-blue accents. Interpret only the selected choice. If blank or missing, use Warm. Keep the same scene readable in either palette.
Let scene and color determine mood, not a different art style. Use angled layered architecture for a lane, a broad horizon with asymmetric foreground for a sea, an intimate oblique view for a room. No people unless explicitly requested; then invent anonymous people unlike any real person. Objects must have fictional generic designs. No real brands, logos, recognizable commercial products, famous characters, lettering, digits, signs, captions, signatures or watermarks. Omit text even when mentioned in the scene description. Deliver only the finished image. Default ratio is 3:4 unless the size instruction specifies otherwise.

How to use it · FAQ

Uses and fields

Create one full-bleed painting for a personal feed or wallpaper. Scene is the only required field: describe the place, main objects and light. Color offers Warm or Cool. Warm emphasizes earth colors and yellow; Cool emphasizes slate blue and sea green. A blank scene becomes a fictional quiet neighborhood lane; blank color uses Warm. The default ratio is 3:4, adjustable through the shared size selector.

Use and check

Paste the prompt into an image AI once. This card creates a scene from text and does not require a photo. Check that broad shapes describe the place and directional brushwork follows the forms. If crowded, remove small objects from Scene and keep the main subject and light. The neighborhood, sea and room examples vary their composition and mood within the same painting language.
