A painterly AI art style prompt drawing on Nihonga and Art Nouveau. Copy the prompt below into any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end. The prompt only describes the look.

The blend

The prompt combines 3 ingredients and gives each one a job:

The fusion manifests as gilt linework over mottled grounds, dotted shoal contours with hachured margins, and thin radiating geometry, transforming any subject through flattened, ornamentally dense handling.

The prompt

Original

Sakai Hōitsu + Harry Clarke + Admiralty Persian Gulf survey charts of the 1900s, where Hōitsu's tarashikomi pooling over metal-leaf ground creates mottled, cloud-edged pigment pools with burnished flecks through wet-into-wet dropping, Clarke's stained-glass drawing produces jewel-like transmitted density via fine scratched leading lines, and the survey charts infuse hairline rhumb-line webs and stippled sounding-numeral fields. The fusion manifests as gilt linework over mottled grounds, dotted shoal contours with hachured margins, and thin radiating geometry, transforming any subject through flattened, ornamentally dense handling.

Model-neutral

The same look with artist names and copyrighted references removed — for models that refuse them.

Rinpa-school tarashikomi on gold-leaf ground + Irish Arts and Crafts stained-glass illustration + early twentieth-century hydrographic survey charts, where wet-into-wet pigment pooling over metal-leaf ground creates mottled, cloud-edged pools with burnished flecks, scratched stained-glass leading produces jewel-like transmitted density via fine dark hairline drawing, and survey-chart convention infuses hairline rhumb-line webs and stippled sounding-numeral fields. The fusion manifests as gilt linework over mottled grounds, dotted shoal contours with hachured margins, and thin radiating geometry, transforming any subject through flattened, ornamentally dense handling.

Effect only

The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.

Mottled, cloud-edged pigment pools settle into a metallic leaf ground with burnished flecks showing through. Fine dark scratched lines hold each area like leading, so colour glows with a backlit density. Hairline straight lines radiate across the surface in a thin net, with dotted contours, short hatched margins and scattered pinprick marks. Gilt linework sits crisp over soft stains, and depth stays flat and ornamental.
