## Prompt

```text
Please turn each travel photo I upload into an individual "Vivid Gouache Travel Still Life" comparison poster. Output each photo separately; do not stitch multiple photos into one work.

Use a 3:4 vertical composition overall. Divide the screen into two top and bottom areas of approximately 1:1 height, using clear, straight, and restrained horizontal boundaries; no gradients, feathering, or pigment bleed into the photo area.

The top half faithfully preserves the original photo. Accurately maintain the subject's identity, count, posture, architectural structure, street direction, object relationships, real material, natural light and shadow, and original color atmosphere, applying only slight travel magazine and art publication color grading and adding extremely thin film grain. The upper half must clearly remain a real photograph, not to be illustrated, stretched, mirrored, duplicated, or subject-altered.

The bottom half should not redrawn the original scene completely, nor simply gouache-ify the whole photo. First, understand the photo, then select {object_count} urban objects that best represent the location and travel memories, such as motorcycles, bicycles, plastic stools, coffee tables, lanterns, flower baskets, tableware, awnings, window lattices, road markings, or signboard outlines.

Reorganize the selected objects into an asymmetrical set of travel still lifes. Allow changes in the scale, distance, occlusion, and spatial organization of the objects, making them look like urban specimens picked from the journey and rearranged on paper. The still life group occupies about 45%–68% of the lower area, and must be surrounded by a continuous, complete piece of warm off-white paper without fragmented decorations. Do not arrange all objects evenly along the bottom edge, and do not fill the background.

Use truly opaque vivid gouache, combined with a small amount of acrylic and dry brush textures. Colors are extracted entirely from the original photo and compressed into a {color_scheme}. Use direct, matte, high-coverage pigment color blocks; outlines are done with loose, uneven, slightly hesitant hand-drawn lines in the deepest dark brown, blue-black, or charcoal gray from the photo. Retain visible brush bristles, dry brush gaps, pigment thickness variations, rough edges, occasional search lines, and the base paper showing through. Highlights use uncovered paper white or direct white gouache strokes.

Include three sets of accurate text by default:
1. A {main_title} main title extracted from the photo content.
2. A number in the form of "STUDY NO. 01".
3. A short observation sentence of 5–10 English words.

The main title must be clearly readable at chat preview size. Use thick, slightly narrow or rounded, slightly tilted hand-painted gouache uppercase letters, featuring matte opaque pigment, visible bristles, dry brush gaps, rough edges, and uneven manual letter spacing. The title should look like it was brushed directly onto the paper, not a smooth digital font superimposed later.

Numbers and observation sentences use clearly readable small humanities sans-serif, old metal type, or relaxed handwriting, allowing for slight ink starvation, paper tooth, and manual misalignment. Text colors are extracted from the original photo and gouache still life to echo the subject. Text is placed in continuous whitespace and can slightly bite into the edges of the still life but must not obscure key subjects.

Only render the text literally specified in the prompt. Do not generate fictional place names, dates, brands, signboards, author names, signatures, logos, QR codes, watermarks, gibberish, or additional long text.

Avoid: transparent watercolor wash, full-scene translation.
