## About this style

Ochre, mineral green, blue and ivory form flat pigment layers with fine flowing contours. Restrained dry-wall mottling and fine cracks preserve clear color regions.

Dunhuang-inspired imagery selects mineral color, flowing contours and wall texture from diverse traditions.

Long ribbon curves joining green and ocher-red areas can remain vivid beneath restrained signs of age.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Stable contours and quiet color areas give skin and clothing a unified mineral wall texture.

- **Landscape**: Architecture, rocks and sky flatten into a continuous surface with granular color and faded areas.

- **Object**: Reflections become matte, while powdery texture and mottling emphasize decorative contours.

**Subjects**: Choose clearly clothed figures, stone architecture, flowers or ceremonial objects with simple color divisions.

Compared with Fresco and its softer plaster-bound color, this variant emphasizes mineral ochre-green-blue, fine flat contours and subtle dry-wall weathering, reducing continuous realistic shadows without adding Buddhist subjects.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Preserve the original people, clothes, architecture, objects and composition. Repaint as a Dunhuang-inspired mineral-pigment mural interpretation, using fine flowing umber contour lines and quiet flat layers of ochre, azurite blue, malachite green, pale vermilion and ivory. Let existing fabric, water and terrain suggest curved linear rhythms. Show a dry plaster surface with restrained pigment mottling and a few extremely fine aged cracks, without obscuring forms. Simplify shading into layered color regions. Do not add Buddha figures, flying deities, halos, robes, caves, religious emblems, gold leaf, inscriptions, destroyed faces or heavy damage.
