Terrableed
An engine-agnostic style recipe: a wide hero, proof shots across subjects, and a portable prompt.
1 hero · 3 proofs
Prompt template
An earth-pigment mineral-wash painting of {subject}, on heavy cold-pressed rag paper, full frame. Build the image entirely from translucent, granulating washes of ground natural pigments drawn from {palette} — laid down as overlapping glazes that pool, settle and granulate into the paper tooth, with soft sedimentary bleeds and visible tide-lines where each wash dried, like layered strata of sediment. Forms emerge from deposited bands of colour rather than hard outlines; lightest passages are bare paper showing through. Matte and powdery, never glossy, never digital; tactile, painterly, quietly luminous, with one cooler mineral seam threading the warm earth tones. NO text, NO letters, NO logos.Slot recipes
hero — A full-bleed wash of the subject's defining motif rendered as stacked horizontal sediment bands; let one mineral-cyan seam run across the composition; leave a quieter passage where an overlay headline can sit.
feature — A single subject centred in granulating washes against a deep loam ground, lit by one bright pigment highlight.
avatar — A tight three-quarter study of one subject built from layered earth glazes, mineral-cyan catchlight, soft vignette into the loam ground.
empty-state — A nearly bare sheet with one faint settled pigment pool and a thin tide-line, generous paper showing, calm and unhurried.
illustration — A small scene composed as terraced bands of colour, each band a distinct deposited wash, with one cool seam for contrast.

Do
- · Treat every form as deposited sediment — let washes pool and granulate into the paper, never flat fill
- · Keep the ground warm and earthen (loam, umber, ochre) and reserve a single cooler mineral seam as the cool note
- · Let bare paper carry the highlights; build depth by glazing layer over layer
- · Keep it matte and powdery, with visible tide-lines and granulation
Don't
- · Do not add hard outlines, vector edges, or inked contours
- · Do not make it glossy, metallic, or digitally smooth
- · Do not flood the frame with the cool accent — it is a single seam, not a wash
- · Do not let the technique tip into photographic realism
