Painted Blue

Full prompt

An ultra-detailed watercolor portrait of myself, using the reference image only for facial identity. Preserve the facial bone structure, proportions, and all facial features without modification. Medium-short 3/4-angle portrait in a vertical composition, with the subject occupying approximately 67–75% of the frame. The body angles slightly to the left, with the shoulders turned naturally away from the camera while the head gently rotates back toward the camera. Show the upper torso with balanced headroom, clean framing, and direct eye contact. Warm skin tone with realistic texture, expressive eyes as the focal point, and a subtle natural soft smile that is neither wide nor exaggerated, with slight asymmetry. Well-groomed hair matching the reference image, with organic volume and soft watercolor edges. Professional watercolor on cold-press paper, featuring granulating pigments, transparent layering, realistic pigment behavior, and a thoughtful balance of soft and defined edges. No filter effect. Soft natural side lighting with warm tones, clean transitions, and no opaque whites. The subject wears a red T-shirt beneath a worn denim jacket, rendered with realistic texture and moderate contrast so the clothing does not compete with the face. Use a neutral watercolor wash background with organic blooms and splatters, softly integrated with the silhouette. The lower part of the subject, especially the torso, must softly dissolve into the background through watercolor bleed, diffusion, and irregular fading edges, with no hard cut or sharp boundary. Elegant, natural, intimate mood with an effortless confident presence. Vertical 3:4 format.
