Prompt
Minimal ink and wash painting of a red-crowned crane in mid-dance, one wing sweeping upward, the whole bird captured in a few confident brushstrokes, black ink gradating into soft grey washes, a single small red accent on the crown, calligraphic energy in the thin leg lines, vast empty white paper surrounding the figure, no text, seals or signatures.

How to use this prompt
"A few confident brushstrokes" is the restraint switch — leave it out and Flux renders every feather, and the minimal ink idea dies under the detail. "No seals or signatures" is specific to this genre: ink-wash paintings traditionally carry red artist seals, and Flux will happily stamp a fake one in the corner. The lone red crown works because it is the only color on the page — resist adding a second accent. If the bird still over-details, describe it as just "a crane" and re-add the color as "one small red mark on the head".
Variations to try
- Mirrored pair — "two cranes mirroring each other's dance, wings nearly touching, red crowns the only color"
- Resting companion — "the crane at rest, neck curved into a calm S, body a single wet wash stroke"
