## Prompt

```text
Create a detailed artistic portrait painting of the subject using a traditional {technique} painting technique with visible rough brush strokes, imperfect textures, uneven paint distribution, and slightly messy handcrafted details to make the artwork feel authentically created by a human artist rather than digitally perfect. The overall style should feel expressive, raw, organic, and artistic while still maintaining strong visual appeal and realism on the subject’s facial structure. Use {color_scheme} color combinations with rich tonal variation so the artwork feels alive, energetic, and visually dynamic, avoiding flat, dull, or monochromatic coloring. Skin textures, facial details, hair, outfit fabric, and all visible elements must fully follow the Dry Brush texture style with layered paint streaks and artistic imperfections. The subject’s pose and facial expression must look natural, relaxed, confident, and emotionally alive, avoiding stiff, awkward, gloomy, or expressionless appearances. The outfit must be stylish, modern, trendy, and casual with strong fashion aesthetics, avoiding basic, generic, or monotonous clothing designs. Ensure the outfit fully blends with the Dry Brush painting style, including textured fabric details, expressive brush patterns, and artistic color treatment. The final artwork should feel like a premium contemporary handmade portrait painting with expressive imperfections, dynamic brushwork, fashionable styling, and visually striking colors while still preserving the identity of the original subject.
