Style prompt

Polished mid-century painted illustration has smooth oil-like blending, warm peach illumination, crisp patterned detail, restrained enamel highlights, and carefully placed cast shadows. Cherry red, creamy ivory, deep bottle green and sunny yellow form an upbeat but controlled palette. Slight theatricality, clean staging and subtle brush texture give the square surface the finish of a vintage print advertisement.

Full example prompt

The image is a polished mid-century painted illustration of a smiling woman seated on a pale kitchen floor. She occupies the center and right side, leaning back on one hand while the other holds an open printed magazine angled toward her lap. Her crossed legs extend diagonally toward the lower left, ending in glossy red heeled sandals. Short brown curls and a small colorful headband frame her face; vivid red lips and bright cheeks catch the viewer's attention. Her fitted red top has narrow tied shoulder straps, and a light floral skirt drapes over the floor around her hips. At the left stands a large dark green refrigerator with a chrome horizontal handle and a red checked towel above; pale cabinet doors form a simple warm backdrop at the right. A bowl or cluster of yellow lemons, a few red fruits and a dark bottle sit near her supporting hand at the lower right. The surfaces are rendered in smooth, carefully blended oil-paint-like strokes: skin has warm peach highlights and soft brown shadow, fabric has crisp printed flowers, and the refrigerator has a restrained enamel sheen. Warm domestic light falls from the upper left, creating a clear shadow beneath her legs and along the cabinet base. The palette balances cherry red, creamy ivory, deep bottle green and sunny yellow. A gently theatrical smile, precise costume detail and orderly domestic objects give the square image the buoyant charm of an illustrated advertisement.
