AI Photo Editing Prompt
PromptUse the uploaded photo as the reference for the subject's likeness and composition. Convert the photo into a hand-painted watercolor portrait on textured watercolor paper. Render the face with soft translucent washes of color, visible pigment bleeds and paper grain, and delicate loose brushstrokes. Soften the edges with gentle color blends and keep the likeness and facial proportions accurate. Use mostly soft muted tones with subtle warm accents and no hard outlines. The result should look like an expressive, artistic watercolor painting of the same person, not a photo filter.
