How to use this prompt

"Tall narrow buildings in pink yellow and terracotta pressing against each other" is the technique — the buildings pressing together with no gaps is what makes the scene read as a Ligurian fishing village; spaced-out houses read as a modern coastal resort, packed houses read as Cinque Terre. "A narrow walking path zigzagging up through the houses" is the depth cue that leads the eye up the cliff. "A terraced vineyard on the slope to one side" is the regional detail that ties the scene to its specific location. Keep the light warm and late morning to bring out the pastel colours without harsh shadow.

Variations to try

  • Swap the village for Portofino harbour with yachts for a glamorous variant
  • Change the time to sunset for a warm glow on the pastel facades version
