The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.




Henri Matisse + Paul Klee + gouache and ink on cockled paper, where Matisse's cut-out gouache creates flat opaque colour planes with hard scissored edges and no modelling, and Klee's wavering nib line produces naive contour and sparse cross-hatched stippling via scratchy ink marks. The fusion manifests as unblended saturated fills beside thin transparent washes that streak and pool, outlines drifting off the edge of the colour, and shading limited to dry ink hatching, transforming any subject through deliberate flattening, while the cockled paper infuses handmade imperfection.

The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Large matte opaque colour planes with crisp, cut-looking edges and no gradation sit beside thin transparent washes that streak and pool. Wobbly scratchy pen outlines wander slightly off the colour boundaries. Shading is only sparse dry cross-hatching and stippled ink. The paper buckles and shows grain, and every fill looks flat, hand-applied and slightly uneven.
