Your prompt
Minimalist vintage watercolor travel poster illustration of [CITY NAME], [COUNTRY], rendered entirely in elegant monochromatic [Color] watercolor and fine ink linework. Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical composition optimized for poster and social media presentation. A peaceful early-morning streetscape featuring the iconic [PRIMARY LANDMARK] and SECONDARY LANDMARK in the foreground, viewed from a slightly low pedestrian-level perspective. Historic local architecture, elegant facades, ornate details, arched windows, decorative cornices, and traditional street elements line the spacious surroundings, creating a timeless urban atmosphere. A classic [LOCAL STREET ELEMENT OR LAMP STYLE] stands prominently on the left side, while mature leafy trees frame portions of the scene, their foliage painted with soft watercolor washes and delicate splatter textures. In the distance, [DISTANT LANDMARK OR SKYLINE FEATURE] rises gracefully against the skyline, serving as a recognizable cultural landmark. A vintage [LOCAL VEHICLE] or a few small pedestrians add subtle life and scale without disturbing the tranquil mood. The composition includes large areas of clean white negative space, soft cloudy watercolor textures in the sky, delicate paper grain, and subtle watercolor blooms. The paving, street, or plaza stretches dramatically across the foreground, leading the viewer’s eye toward the landmark ensemble. Typography in the upper-left corner reads “[CITY NAME], [COUNTRY]” in a refined serif font, styled like a sophisticated travel journal or collectible city poster. Handcrafted watercolor illustration, architectural sketch aesthetic, serene urban atmosphere, soft natural morning lighting, muted monochromatic palette, highly detailed line art, elegant travel-poster design, minimalist luxury wall-art style, timeless local charm, premium stationery illustration, ultra-detailed, high-resolution, clean composition, Pinterest-worthy, Instagram-worthy, gallery-quality artwork.

When to use it
Use when you want a wall-art or stationery style city print in a single ink color rather than a full-color travel illustration.
How to get the best result
- Type the city and country as they should print; the corner lettering repeats both, and the streets follow the city.
- Choose one mid-tone ink such as sepia or Prussian blue; the whole poster is washed in that hue, so room to fade matters.
- Name a landmark, lamp and vehicle from that city in the advanced controls; the presets there are not tied to your city.
Watch-outs
- City, country and ink lead the prompt, where GPT Image 2 weights most; the landmark slots sit deep in a long paragraph.
- The prompt's 'aspect ratio: 4:5' wording does not set the output size; choose a portrait ratio in the generator.
