Transform the uploaded photo into a beautiful minimalist editorial illustration with a soft, hand-painted watercolor and gouache aesthetic.
ART STYLE: Vintage travel-poster illustration, delicate watercolor washes, subtle gouache brushstrokes, visible handmade paper grain, soft pigment textures, imperfect painted edges, muted pastel colors, and a dreamy romantic atmosphere.
COMPOSITION: Vertical 2:3 poster. Place the main subjects in the lower third of the frame, leaving approximately 65–70% of the upper area as clean, warm ivory paper with subtle natural texture. Keep the composition airy, peaceful, understated, and balanced.
SUBJECT: Preserve the recognizable identity, hairstyle, clothing, pose, and emotional connection of the people in the reference photo. Simplify their features into elegant hand-painted shapes with minimal facial details and natural proportions. Maintain a candid, intimate, storytelling feel.
BACKGROUND: Illustrate the surroundings using loose, impressionistic brushstrokes and simplified silhouettes. Famous landmarks, landscapes, trees, buildings, or cityscapes should remain recognizable but understated. Use soft navy blue, dusty blue, warm beige, muted blush pink, and gentle golden yellow accents.
LIGHTING & TEXTURE: Soft natural daylight, delicate shadows, subtle color bleeding, layered watercolor washes, matte finish, and authentic textured paper. Keep details concentrated around the subjects and lower background.
OVERALL MOOD: Romantic, nostalgic, peaceful, poetic, timeless, and intimate—like a page from a beautifully illustrated travel journal.
STRICT RULES: Minimalist composition, generous negative space, no photorealism, no 3D rendering, no harsh outlines, no oversaturated colors, no unnecessary details, no borders, no typography, and no watermark. The final image must look genuinely hand-painted on textured paper.
