Tips
- 1Start your prompt with 'VISUAL STYLE: Watercolor painting' to firmly establish the desired aesthetic from the outset.
- 2Experiment with 'COLOR: Translucent washes' or 'COLOR: Layered watercolors' to emphasize the unique blending and transparency of the medium.
- 3Utilize 'COMPOSITION: Loose brushstrokes' or 'COMPOSITION: Wet-on-wet technique' to guide Midjourney towards specific watercolor application styles.
- 4Combine watercolor with other styles, such as 'VISUAL STYLE: Watercolor and ink sketch' or 'VISUAL STYLE: Watercolor with line art', for interesting hybrid effects.
- 5Use negative prompting for elements you want to avoid, like '--no sharp edges' or '--no opaque colors', to refine your watercolor output.
