Model-Specific Tips
Midjourney
Add 'watercolor painting, soft washes, paper texture, delicate' to your prompt.
DALL-E
Specify 'watercolor illustration on textured paper' with details about color palette.
Stable Diffusion
Add 'watercolor, paint splashes, wet on wet, paper texture'. Works well with lower CFG values for softer edges.
