How to use this prompt
The contrast between "wet-on-wet pigment blooms in the wings" and "dry-brush feather detail on the head" is the whole painting — blur where there is motion, precision where the eye lands. Keep "extra wings" in the negatives; SDXL loves doubling hummingbird wings mid-hover, and it is the most common failure for this prompt. cfg at 6.5 leaves room for the blooms to spread — at 8 and above the washes tighten into flat color shapes. If the flower starts dominating the frame, demote it to "a single small coral trumpet flower entering from the left edge".
Variations to try
- Pair it for a set — "two hummingbirds circling a cluster of purple sage, indigo and violet blooms" as a matching wall-art companion
- Botanical-plate version — "hummingbird perched, flower stem crossing the frame diagonally, thin ink linework, centered composition"
