Autumn herbalist

THE PROMPT

An adult female herbalist in a buttoned slate-blue long coat carries a bamboo basket along old mossy stone stairs. Autumn maple leaves gather in the rain around a quiet mountain courtyard. Three-quarter full figure, tied-back dark hair, contemplative expression, vivid layered brushwork, fine ink accents and richly painted environmental depth. Visual medium: Richly painted illustration, controlled brush texture, polished focal detail, simplified value grouping and layered atmospheric color. Preserve illustrated edges rather than a plain photographic finish. Palette: slate blue, maple red, warm ivory. Lighting: soft rainy mountain daylight. All human or humanlike figures are clearly adult and fully clothed. Original character and object designs. One coherent finished image, with no added lettering, logos, signatures or watermarks.
