Style prompt
Edgar Degas + Mary Cassatt + Odilon Redon styles fused into a rapid soft pastel sketch. Bold, abbreviated strokes leave paper texture visible throughout. Colors appear as Degas-like adjacent marks rather than fully blended, creating optical mixing at transitions. Light follows Cassatt's luminous approach while backgrounds adopt Redon's atmospheric softness. The technique emphasizes spontaneity—quick, decisive marks capturing essential forms while leaving non-essential areas as simple color fields or untouched paper. Edges alternate between precise definition and finger-smudged transitions. Details appear only where necessary, with texture and color taking precedence over precise rendering. The effect balances impressionistic observation with expressionistic color, preserving the immediate quality of rapid pastel sketching.

Effect-only prompt
The same look with the recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Describes only what the style does to a surface.
Rapid soft pastel marks, bold and abbreviated, leave paper texture visible throughout. Color sits in adjacent unblended strokes, mixing optically at transitions rather than smoothing. Light is bright and luminous over soft atmospheric backgrounds. Edges alternate between sharp definition and finger-smudged diffusion. Detail appears only where essential; simple color fields and raw paper carry the rest. Texture and hue outweigh precise rendering, keeping the whole immediate and spontaneous.
