Make this prompt your own

Subject: “A loose watercolour painting of a thatched houseboat on calm backwaters at dusk” is the part that names the subject. Put your own there and leave the other words alone to keep this look.
Light: The word “dusk” sets the light. Swap it for “soft daylight” or “soft morning light” to change the time of day and the feel.
Colours: The prompt names pink, violet and white. Change any of those colour words and the picture follows.
Rules: The last words, “No text”, stop the tool from writing on the picture. That leaves clean space for your own title.

Same theme, another look

In other light: Watercolour Peacock (soft light), Watercolour Kolkata Tram (soft rainy light) and Watercolour Lighthouse (bright coastal light).

In another style: Watercolour Hill Tea Stall (watercolour painting), Watercolour Lake at Dawn (watercolour landscape) and Watercolour Teacup and Roses (watercolour still life).
