Watercolor Jellyfish in Deep Blue

Stable Diffusion
By Varun Sharma Tested with Stable Diffusion SDXL 1.0

Watercolor Jellyfish in Deep Blue is an SDXL 1.0 prompt that uses the medium's bleeding and pooling to render translucency. A soft wash background gives the jellyfish depth without hard edges.

How to use this prompt

Watercolor is the right medium for a jellyfish because the pigment's bleeding and pooling mimic the creature's translucency. The bell-shaped body and long trailing tentacles are the diagnostic features — name them so the model renders a jellyfish and not a generic blob. Washes of deep blue, purple, and pink give the body depth; a single colour would flatten it. The white paper with visible texture is the ground, and the soft wash of darker blue in the background gives the scene depth without hard edges. Keep the bubbles small and few; too many would clutter the composition.

Variations to try

  • A group of three jellyfish at different depths
  • A more abstract version with the jellyfish dissolving into the wash
