How to use this prompt
Fog is a value study, and the way to make it read is to let the boats fade — the prompt says masts and rigging fading into the mist, which gives the model permission to lose edges rather than draw everything sharply. The single warm light is the focal point; without it a fog scene has nowhere for the eye to land. Keep the palette muted grey-blue so that one warm note stands out. Calm water with faint reflections doubles the masts and adds quiet. Soft edges throughout are essential — hard lines would break the fog. This is an atmosphere piece, so resist adding detail.
Variations to try
- The same harbor as the fog begins to lift
- A close view of one boat's bow emerging from the mist
