Style prompt

The image has an impasto-like painted surface of thick, short, often rectangular marks. Saturated cobalt, indigo, teal, and violet build a cool dark field, pierced by concentrated gold, amber, and red-orange light. Bright strokes break into vertical fragments across darker lower planes, giving reflections a lively, uneven rhythm. Edges are assembled from neighboring patches rather than smooth outlines, so forms stay readable at a distance while close surfaces remain mosaic-like. Multiple warm points of light create halos and luminous paths through cool shadow; black is rare because the dark areas retain blue and purple color. The overall effect is exuberant and atmospheric, with dense upper texture balanced by a broad, glimmering lower expanse.

Full example prompt

A square, heavily textured oil painting shows a rain-wet city square at night, glowing with orange lamps against deep cobalt and violet. The foreground is dominated by a broad reflective paved surface that curves from the lower left toward the right middle distance. Broken vertical ribbons of gold, white, red, turquoise, and dark blue shimmer across the wet ground; the separate strokes suggest reflections rather than a polished mirror. Along the far side of the pavement, a narrow green strip carries a row of dark tree trunks. Their branches and dense foliage rise into the upper half, where chunky blue-violet brushmarks alternate with pockets of warm red and amber. Several streetlamps burn through the trees, the nearest bright orange-yellow globe slightly right of center and smaller lights stepping away toward the left. On the far left, a pale multi-story building with a lit tower and green pointed roof stands partly behind the trees. Its windows and roofline are reduced to short warm marks, clear enough to suggest architecture without tight detail. Near the right edge, a dark trunk and a brighter warm light create another vertical anchor. Small human shapes are barely suggested near the far side of the square, subordinate to the larger rhythm of lamps and reflections. The paint is laid down in thick, short, rectangular strokes, with overlapping color blocks keeping foliage, walls, and water-like shine animated. Light comes from the lamps and the lit building, pooling warmly around their bases and stretching as fragmented columns over the wet pavement, while the night above stays cool and saturated. The overall composition lets the curved dark roadway carry the eye between glowing architectural distance and dense trees, balancing electric warm light with a blue-purple night.
