Prompt guide
How to write a watercolor prompt
Watercolor style is controlled by paper, pigment, water behavior, edge quality, layering, and untouched white space. Naming those physical traits produces more authentic results than simply asking for “watercolor.”
Name the paper tooth, pigment palette, and wash transparency.
Mix lost edges, dry-brush accents, blooms, and reserved white areas.
Describe composition and subject before adding historical style references.
