Style: Salt-Bloom Verdigris Stipple [ https://justrobstyles.com/s/salt-bloom-verdigris-stipple ] Colour sits in granular pools rather than smooth gradient, a teal, amber and magenta ink set wiped so it fades dense to pale, with copper-green patina and rosin stipple grain over the top. Plate marks and tinted paper stay visible, which suits subjects that want some age and a little coldness. Model: gpt-image-2

Prompt: Ukiyo-e woodblock printing + experimental seventeenth-century Dutch colour etching + aquatint etching of Victorian microscope slides, where hand-wiped bokashi gradation creates soft ink fades from dense to pale through graded wiping across one block, sulphur-tint and lift-ground biting produces granular salt-bloom texture via coloured inks printed on tinted grounds, and slide aquatint infuses rosin-dust stipple pools stopped out at crisp edges. The fusion manifests as a restricted teal, amber and magenta ink set, circular lens highlights with verdigris copper patina, and visible plate marks, transforming any subject through frosted granulation.
