How to use this prompt

The visible-but-controlled brushwork sells the oil-paint look without breaking facial structure. Use this as a base for a custom portrait by replacing the subject description. If the finish feels too glossy, add "matte canvas texture, no varnish."

Variations to try

  • Pet memorial — "oil painting portrait of a regal golden retriever, dark green drapery background"
  • Family heirloom — "two figures in formal attire, warm muted studio background, soft edges"
