HOW TO USE

Build a watercolor image step by step

Paper, pigment and edge behavior describe the medium. If using a portrait reference, identity preservation is a separate instruction, not a guaranteed result.

Read the watercolor workflow
  1. 01

    Decide whether you are creating a new image or editing a reference photo.

  2. 02

    Choose paper texture, a small palette and transparent or opaque paint behavior.

  3. 03

    Describe framing and the edges that should stay sharp or dissolve into the paper.

  4. 04

    Review facial likeness when applicable, then adjust paint strength or edge detail one at a time.

Result not as expected? Start here
  • Flat digital shading? Replace vague style words with transparent washes, paper grain and reserved white areas.
  • Face changed? Simplify styling, keep the reference fixed and reduce conflicting identity instructions.
