AI Model: Recraft V4

Prompt: Seamless tonal gradations swell enlarged forms, bending light around curves without visible strokes. Revealing form and curve through light, shadow and decollete atire Buttery blended cores in ivory-black, yellow-ochre, vermilion and white break into decisive loaded marks, laid once and left, with confident wet bleeding mixed edges. Glare-blown highlights soften through drifting haze, while sun-bleached dusty warmth and a translucent canvas glow suffuse every transition like sheer fabric revealing what is beneath. Ink and watercolor wash fashion sketch, broad expressive brush strokes mixed with delicate line work. Jazzy, warm golden hour Direct eye contact with a fashionable woman with long red hair sitting sideways at a café table, wearing a short skirt, legs crossed and one hand resting thoughtfully under her chin, wearing a blue blouse while sipping coffee, depicted with detailed shading and subtle realism. A street-side café setting in an urban area, featuring light-colored buildings, large windows, and outdoor seating drawn in simplified line art. Background includes scattered people and vibrant orange awnings with minimal detail.
