AI Generation Prompt
Watercolour painting — an ultra-wide cinematic banner (16:5). A family at a dinner table late at night — a stern father rising from his chair with a serious expression, a worried teenage daughter looking down at her plate, an anxious mother caught between them. Warm lamplight, charged tension, glowing against a dark ground. Loose luminous watercolour washes, soft wet-on-wet colour bleeds, granulation and visible paper grain, glowing against the dark ground. No text, no labels.
