# Painted Editorial Reconstruction

Create one independent poster per photo and preserve the source non-destructively.

Use equal horizontal regions. Keep the upper half photographic. Rebuild the lower half
around one source-specific gesture, relationship, movement, or directional rhythm. Group
secondary detail into broad shapes, use visible matte pigment and layered depth, and let
the focal relationship govern scale, cropping, and negative space.

The painting must remain recognizable without tracing the scene. Use an airy palette
derived from the photo and quiet optional editorial text. Avoid stickers, vectors,
airbrush, plastic 3D, photoreal digital painting, muddy filters, fixed titles, and
decorative noise.

Use the best available image tool. For exact source preservation and equal halves,
generate the lower painting separately and assemble it with a normalized source copy.
Verify 3:4 geometry, subject relationship, painterly material, visual hierarchy, and
absence of invented facts before returning each output path.
