Prompting: Leave out the artist!

 Sometimes it is better to leave out the artist in the prompt. "Anne Stokes" is a rather famous watercolor and ink fantasy artist, and with some AI Generators you get beautiful results mentioning her name in the prompt. With some AI Generators however, you get images where a girl, young woman or female person is standing in the focus and the subject you went for is not rendered very nicely. This is the case with Blue Willow AI. By the way, if you visit Anne Stokes's website, you will see, that many of her paintings have young women or girls as subjects. 

So what did I do? Instead of writing "in the style of Anne Stokes" in the prompt I wrote:

colourful Flowers in Pastel Tones, watercolor and ink -- ar 3:2


VoilĂ ! No female person anywhere.

Now I asked myself: What would happen if I added "fantasy art" to the prompt?

Blue Willow AI creates four images when you submit a prompt. Three of the four images had a female person in the midst of the flowers, but one of the four showed only flowers, in a fantasy style.



So it worked! And I learnt that it is important to know a bit of the artist before you mention him or her in the prompt. A quick google search will help a lot.
