How This Works

Expert prompt writers don't start by describing the effect — they start by deciding what must stay the same and what's allowed to change.

For watercolour portraits, that means preserving your distinctive features first, then translating them into soft washes, flowing colours, and hand-painted aesthetics in the right order.

This action uses a tuned AI prompt that applies those decisions automatically.

It prioritizes recognizable likeness, then introduces watercolour elements like bleeding edges, paper texture, and gallery-worthy brushwork — without losing what makes you recognizable.

The result is the kind of output you'd normally only get after writing, testing, and refining prompts multiple times, delivered in a single click.
