Home Facade Watercolor Keepsake
Convert an exterior house photo into a watercolor keepsake with faithful architectural proportions.
Prompt
Transform the uploaded reference photo into a hand-painted watercolor illustration. Use the supplied photograph as the authoritative source for subject structure and visible details. Work from a photograph of a home's exterior facade. Preserve the actual roof shape, story count, window and door positions, building proportions, perspective and distinctive materials. Do not redesign the house, invent extensions or change the season. Use a faint structural pencil scaffold beneath transparent watercolor. Keep roof edges, window alignments and door geometry controlled while painting brick, plaster and foliage with simplified varied washes. Soften landscaping at the outer edges. Keep the whole visible facade grounded on a light wash, with white paper margins. Omit house numbers or signage unless clearly readable and specifically needed. The result must read as a new watercolor painting on subtly textured cold-press paper, with translucent pigment, purposeful brushwork and varied edge softness, not a photograph with a texture overlay. Avoid oil-paint impasto, glossy 3D rendering, heavy cartoon outlines, decorative text, signatures and watermarks. Return a single finished illustration, not a before-and-after comparison, collage or framed mockup.
How to use it
- Upload a clear reference photo showing photograph of a home's exterior facade.
- Paste the full prompt and request one finished watercolor illustration.
- Compare the result with your reference for subject accuracy and apply a relevant failure fix if needed.
Common failure fixes
- If windows move or multiply, restore their exact count and alignment from the reference.
- If the building leans, correct the structural drawing before reapplying translucent washes.
- If foliage hides the entrance, reduce foliage density while retaining its source placement.
