# Generation prompts — Stillwater Courtyard

Mode: built-in image generation. The earlier quiet night courtyard is the edit target; supplied images guide the new palette, painted shapes, tree, plants, pasture and flower-sea motif. No reference photographs were altered.

## 00-courtyard

Use case: style-transfer.
Asset: revised master painting for a serene English XR concept demo. One landscape 16:9 oil painting, no text.
INPUT ROLES: Image 1 is the EDIT TARGET and primary lighting/mood reference: quiet dark mirror water courtyard. Image 2 is a reference for the broad muted green pasture planes and dry painted surface ONLY. Image 3 is reference for the simplified sculptural plants ONLY. Image 4 is reference for the pale forked tree and dark compact rounded leaf clusters ONLY. Image 5 is reference for the quiet blue sky, floating flower and layered mountain silhouettes to reinterpret as SEA WAVES; ignore all screenshot text, borders, UI and photographic framing.
PRIMARY PRIORITY: calm, contemplative, restful, understated. Return to Image 1's dim grey-blue, moss green and soft ivory mood; make it LESS sparkling and LESS fragmented. No fluorescent cobalt, neon yellow, electric cyan or vibrant purple. Not Van Gogh's Starry Night: NO spirals in sky, NO yellow star rings, NO fireworks of brush marks. Harmonious modern painterly landscape with earth-muted pigment, restrained flat masses, soft uneven edges, occasional incised/dry-brush contour strokes and visible canvas. Large quiet areas alternate with selective medium strokes. Not polished CGI, not glossy piping/frosting impasto, not a filter over photography.

KEEP the overall spatial layout of Image 1: roofless NIGHT courtyard, deep subdued midnight-grey overhead sky, reflective dark mirrored wall planes, translucent glass doors, wall-to-wall still blue-green pool and no grass INSIDE. Reflections soften the boundaries without turning it into a literal tiled bathroom. No pool coping. Night courtyard is darker than the two DAYTIME worlds outside. No random vegetation on walls.
CENTRE: move the open scallop shell into the EXACT vertical axis beneath the waterfall so its cupped bowl CATCHES the water, with a single pearl in the front of the bowl. Falling water visibly lands in the shell behind the pearl and overflows very gently from the lip. Shell and pearl and thin waterfall remain the softly luminous focus, ivory, grey-lilac and pale warm cream, NOT strong yellow gold. Interior pool has BROAD calm horizontal reflections and only a few long strokes, no field of sparkling flecks. Make waterfall a translucent painted veil, not a harsh white spotlight.

LEFT GLASS DOOR: replace the moon with ONE floating painterly flower, muted faded terracotta/rose with cream accents and olive edges, suspended where the moon used to be. A simple poetic flower, neither botanical photograph nor glowing neon symbol. Behind it, a quiet spacious dusty teal-blue dusk sky with a few low soft mauve-grey cloud slabs like Image 5. Reinterpret Image 5's layered angular mountains as LOW overlapping sculptural ocean swells in slate blue, grey teal and charcoal; enough curling/angled crest contours to read as sea, NOT literal dry mountains. Broad level water extends between these shaped waves. Restrained pale foam accents, no huge storm breakers, no star swirls. Flower reflects faintly in water.

FRONT RECTANGULAR OPENING: remove wheat and cypresses. A DAYTIME quiet open GREEN PASTURE and rolling fields in horizontal and sloping layered planes like Image 2, desaturated deep bottle green, sage, stone-grey and pale earth. Simplified distant contours, few broad flat clouds. Keep the lone small ochre wooden chair in the grass. No sheep, houses or extra objects.

RIGHT ARCHED OPENING: replace irises with simplified sculptural wild plants like Image 3: dark oval leaf/seedpod silhouettes on slender stalks, sage/olive ground masses, sparse muted pale green accents, a few simplified branching trees. Plants are designed as grouped shapes, not detailed flowers. Daytime dusty blue sky and muted terrain beyond. Keep vegetation confined to that portal world.

TREE INSIDE: replace the intricate brown leafless tree with the design language of Image 4: one gracefully forked pale grey-ivory trunk, dark charcoal incised lines, very few thick branches and compact clusters of dark green rounded leaves. Tree emerges directly from water at left. Adapt its lightness to dim interior; it must not outshine shell. Preserve the two subtly painted melting clocks hanging from usable limbs, grey-blue not gold. No dense network of twigs.

Invariants: same three portal locations, left sea at dusk/night, front and right daytime, dark interior, mirror walls, glass doors, pool throughout, pearl and waterfall into shell. No people. No text, signatures or borders. Cohesive quiet painting, not a collage of reference paintings.

## 01-active-shaping

Use case: stylized-concept. Reference image is the SAME environment and definitive STYLE / COLOR anchor for condition A of this quiet XR demo. Recreate this scene with the same arrangement and tone: dark night mirror courtyard with full still water floor; pale forked tree with dark compact leaves and two soft grey clocks at left; left glass door to subdued SEA with a floating terracotta flower (no moon); front daytime green pasture and lone chair; right sculptural oval-leaf garden. Central waterfall falls DIRECTLY INTO shell bowl containing one pearl, overflows gently.
Add two simple painterly first-person hands in lower foreground showing soft pigment as sculptable clay. Left hand gently lifts a detached thick slate-blue/grey-teal brushstroke from the low ocean swell at the left threshold; the lifted piece is SOLID and clay-like with a simple ridge and thumb-sized indentation, not a splash of liquid, not an enormous wave coming into room. Right hand holds a small curved sage and ivory pigment piece. Hands are understated grey-peach, not bright orange or photographic anatomy.
At lower right a moderate-size original abstract reclining biomorphic creation with one large irregular hollow opening and rounded head-like end, inspired by Henry Moore's natural/human sculptural language without copying a specific work. Only three muted broad pigment masses, slate blue/sage/stone ivory, connected with soft seams; visibly hand-moulded and painted. Sculpture not brightly lit and must not outshine the central shell. Plenty of still dark water remains visible. Quiet contemplative composition, not exciting action. Identical muted painted palette: slate blue, grey-teal, sage, bottle green, stone grey, faded earth-ochre, soft ivory. Gentle low contrast, no fluorescent saturated blue or yellow. Hand-worked oil surface with broad layered color planes, dry brushing and sparse incised contours; do not fill every surface with tiny flecks. Not Van Gogh Starry Night, no swirling stars, no photographic/3D realism or glossy impasto frosting. Landscape 16:9, no text or signature.

## 04-three-worlds

Use case: stylized-concept. Input painting is the exact style/palette and environment reference. Create a three-panel triptych, equal-width vertical panels separated by thin muted dark gutters, showcasing the three worlds OUTSIDE its doors. No central courtyard in these close views. LEFT: spacious dusty teal-blue dusk sky, a SINGLE muted terracotta/rose flower floating in the place of a moon, few mauve-grey horizontal cloud slabs, below it broad overlapping ocean swell planes shaped like LOW angular folded mountain silhouettes but clearly water with occasional pale crest lines. A calm flat stretch between the waves, not a storm. MIDDLE: quiet daytime pasture, desaturated deep green and sage layered fields and rolling terraces, sparse hedgerow shapes and wide low cloud bands, a lone small ochre chair in foreground grass. No wheat, no cypresses, no sheep. RIGHT: stylized grouped wild plants, dark oval seedpod-like leaves on slender stems, flat sage/olive ground planes, a few forked trees, soft blue-grey sky. Shapes substantial and somewhat abstract, no irises, no bright flowers. Large calm passages, thoughtful designed silhouettes, hand-worked surface, cohesive single painted series. Identical muted painted palette: slate blue, grey-teal, sage, bottle green, stone grey, faded earth-ochre, soft ivory. Gentle low contrast, no fluorescent saturated blue or yellow. Hand-worked oil surface with broad layered color planes, dry brushing and sparse incised contours; do not fill every surface with tiny flecks. Not Van Gogh Starry Night, no swirling stars, no photographic/3D realism or glossy impasto frosting. Landscape 16:9, no text or signature.
