Negative Painting

Create a negative painting: the subject remains unpainted, defined by layered midtone washes, soft gradients, dry-brush edges, deeper value bands, vignetted background, and lost-and-found contours.

Prompt Content

Negative painting study of Subject, the subject left as untouched paper, defined only by surrounding pigment; the interior remains pristine and unpainted. Style Medium , emphasizing layered values, soft transitions, and selective dry-brush textures around the contour. Use Color Scheme with harmonious midtones and a few deeper value bands to carve depth and separation. Close-up composition, subject offset on the rule of thirds, generous margin of clean space. Soft directional light from upper left to reveal authentic surface texture and value stacking; calm, airy atmosphere. Crisp outer silhouette with occasional lost-and-found edges. Portrait orientation, shallow depth, gentle vignette built from background washes or gradients. Highly detailed texture, natural brushwork, smooth tonal transitions, and refined negative-space logic throughout.
