## About this style

Bright opaque fields and firm black contours sit on warm brown bark-paper texture. Broad decorative petal shapes and sparse white marks simplify the existing forms.

Amate-paper painting works with a bark-fiber support whose color and texture remain active.

Bright red petals, black contours and white accents can coexist with clearly visible fibers in the exposed ground.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Clear figures contain fine lines, dots and decorative color areas rather than realistic shading.

- **Landscape**: Flatter plants, animals and buildings connect through repeated patterns into narrative ornament.

- **Object**: Strong silhouettes contain detailed patterns that replace literal reflections.

**Subjects**: Choose animals, foliage, clothed figures or clear vessels without overcrowding both subject and background.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Keep the source subject and principal arrangement recognizable. Render an amate-paper folk-painting interpretation on visible warm brown fibrous bark paper. Use bright opaque yellow, magenta, cyan, leaf green and white regions enclosed by clear hand-painted black contours. Simplify existing foliage and component shapes into broad petal and leaf forms; add a few white dots or short lines inside existing dark regions. Let brown paper remain exposed between major forms. Keep one complete source-based scene rather than a decorative collage. Do not invent birds, folk costumes, ritual symbols, flowers absent from the reference, lettering or a surrounding ornamental border.
