Style prompt

The style is meticulous miniature painting with crisply bounded shallow layers and extremely fine repeated marks. Horizontal spatial bands organize a compact narrative across a square support. Dark jewel tones meet dusty pink, muted gold and ivory; tiny dotted textures distinguish foliage, stone and surface ornament. Contours remain explicit rather than dissolving in atmospheric perspective. Small figures or accents receive precise attention without overwhelming the patterned terrain. The result is intimate, decorative and patiently observed at miniature scale.

Full example prompt

A square miniature painting shows a broad dark-blue river running horizontally between a pale palace on the far bank and a small flowered island in the foreground. Two tiny figures meet near the island's center: one sits in a light garment while the other stands in ochre and blue. Round trees with carefully dotted foliage flank them, including a pink-blossomed tree at the right. Across the water, an arcaded cream-and-rose building stretches beneath tiered rocky hills. The hills are drawn in rhythmic bands of pink, tan and blue-gray, each contour made legible by fine dark lines. Tiny birds or boats mark the nearly black water. The island edge consists of small ochre stones; low blossoms and blades of grass fill its otherwise empty pockets. There is no Western atmospheric vanishing point. Forms remain crisply bounded and stacked in shallow layers from foreground garden to water, palace and mountains. The palette stays jewel-like yet restrained: midnight blue, dusty rose, muted gold, ivory and silvery foliage. The whole image has a meticulous hand-painted surface, with miniature marks resolving trees, stone and architecture at a very small scale. The square presentation preserves a horizontal scene within it, leaving dark bands above and below. The quiet meeting feels intimate even though landscape and architecture occupy most of the view.
