Dusk Watercolor Glaze
An engine-agnostic style recipe: a wide hero, proof shots across subjects, and a portable prompt.

Prompt template
Transform the supplied image from scratch into a complete full-frame transparent-watercolor painting over a thin graphite underdrawing on warm cream paper; use the source only to recover content and layout, and retain none of its pixels, surfaces, lighting, blur, gradients, texture, hatching, or original marks. Preserve the same subject count, identities, orientation, viewpoint, object relationships, crop, and broad layout without inventing new objects or scenery. Reconstruct people, animals, objects, plants, and environments with measured natural proportions and clean gently planar shapes, then establish a pale precise graphite underdrawing that remains subtly visible at selected contours, structural joins, and plane changes without becoming a dark outline or hatch system. Replace photographic, 3D, vector, and prior line-art rendering completely; form must come from the new drawing and transparent pigment, never from preserved source shading or texture. Cover the entire frame edge to edge with a continuous visibly cool base glaze, then resolve every passage from corner to corner through multiple transparent layers and a complete luminous tonal range; no cream or white paper patch may remain, and even nominally white subjects receive pale blue-gray, muted-violet, or dim-green glaze. Keep those cool dusk colors dominant, use faded rose and warm umber only as small accents, and reserve deeper transparent pigment for quiet focal details. Let watercolor control the finished surfaces while the graphite provides restrained structural evidence underneath; the result should read as a fully resolved observational watercolor, neither photorealistic nor cartoon, rounded storybook, chunky, or generically airbrushed. Crop through the painted field at all four image edges; never draw an enclosing rectangle or show a sheet edge, desk, tape, tools, mat, frame, or border. Avoid opaque or gouache-like passages, muddy paint, thick ink outlines, dense crosshatching, glossy specular highlights, warm amber dominance, blank margins, granular micro-texture, crinkly over-detailing, text, and logos.
