Style

Watercolor AI generator

The Watercolor style paints your prompt with soft washes that bleed into each other, delicate blooms, visible paper grain and loose brushwork in a gentle palette.

Watercolor style preview

What the style does

Soft hand-painted watercolour with colour blooms and paper texture. Pick the Watercolor style in the image or video studio.

Good for

  • Wedding and event invitations
  • Travel and food illustrations
  • Calm, gentle social content

Example prompt

Type this in the studio with Watercolor selected:

A seaside village with white houses and blue doors, boats in the harbour, morning mist

Prompt tips

  • Leave space in the scene: watercolour looks best with air around the subject
  • Mention a light palette: pastel, sage, dusty rose
  • Landscapes, flowers and food suit this style best

Where you can use it

  • Image studio: pick Watercolor in the style picker. It works with whichever image model you choose.
  • Video studio: pick Watercolor in the art-style picker. The look is applied while the clip is generated.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Open a studio

    Go to the image studio for pictures or the video studio for clips.

  2. 2

    Pick Watercolor

    Choose Watercolor in the style picker. The preview tile shows the look.

  3. 3

    Write your prompt

    Describe the subject and scene in your own words. The style adds the look on top; your text is never replaced.

  4. 4

    Generate

    The credit cost is shown before you generate, and it is the same with or without a style.

What it costs

A style is free to use: it only changes the prompt, so the price is the normal price of the generation.

For example, one Seedream 4.5 image is 2 credits and a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip at 720p is 15 credits, with or without a style.

Questions

Can watercolor be animated?

Yes. In the video studio the clip keeps the painted look while things move, which works well for gentle scenes like water, clouds or leaves.

Does a style cost extra credits?

No. A style only adds words to the prompt that is sent, so you pay the normal price: for example 2 credits for a Seedream 4.5 image.

Does the style replace my prompt?

No. Your prompt stays exactly as you wrote it. The style is added on top to set the look.

Can I switch styles on the same prompt?

Yes. Keep the prompt, pick a different style and generate again to compare looks side by side.
