Gustave Caillebotte style reference and prompts

Observational urban painting with an elevated viewpoint, broad receding routes, and soft atmospheric perspective. Use loose, visible brushstrokes to describe wet surfaces, foliage, and distant traffic, while keeping a few strong architectural outlines legible. A cool gray-blue sky and pale green water can occupy large calm areas; muted ochre, cream, and lavender marks bring warmth into the built forms and reflected pavement. Wet ground should shimmer through broken light strokes rather than mirror-sharp reflections. Small figures and vehicles are economical dabs that support scale and lived activity. Organize the view with converging roads, railings, riverbanks, or other long lines leading toward a hazy middle distance. Keep the treatment airy despite dense urban subject matter, allowing sky and water to provide visual rest. The mood is matter-of-fact, luminous, and gently animated by ordinary movement.

A vertically framed city painting within a narrow white margin shows an elevated view down a broad riverside boulevard after rain. The pale green river fills the left side and narrows toward a low bridge in the middle distance. Several small dark boats rest on the water, their simple shapes becoming smaller as they approach the bridge. At the far left, a line of trees and low buildings follows the opposite bank beneath a wide gray-blue sky. On the near bank, two parallel roadways curve toward the distance, divided by a planted strip of leafy green trees. A cream-and-yellow streetcar travels along the outer road beside the water near the lower left. Tiny pedestrians and indistinct vehicles appear farther up the wet avenue, but none dominates the scene. The right side is anchored by a large pale stone building with many windows, a high dark blue roof, and a narrow spire reaching into the sky. Its wall catches slightly warmer light than the road or river. Beyond it, another domed roof rises over the tree canopy. The pavement is a long field of silver, ochre, and muted lavender strokes, reflecting the overcast light and pulling the eye toward the bridge. Brushwork is loose enough that distant people and boats become colored marks, while the major architectural lines remain readable. The viewpoint gives a broad sweep of urban space, with the near roadway starting at the lower edge and the river leading steadily into a hazy horizon. Cool sky and water tones are balanced by the streetcar and pale golden building, making the rainy scene airy and quietly active rather than gloomy.
