Scraped-Glaze Slash
A painterly AI art style prompt drawing on Contemporary Realism and Expressionism. Copy the prompt below into any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end. The prompt only describes the look.
How this one was made: Scraped-Glaze Slash — Jeremy Mann's scraped streets cut with Fechin's slashing strokes
The blend
The prompt combines 3 ingredients and gives each one a job:
- Jeremy Mann — Mann's scraped layering creates an abraded surface of dark translucent glazes through dragged knife edges and incised vertical hairlines.
- Nicolai Fechin — Fechin's slashing broad strokes produce loosely abstracted peripheries via lost-and-found edges.
- Oil on gessoed panel — The panel's tooth infuses ridged impasto that catches light.
The fusion manifests as opaque knife slabs over thin dark underpainting, a burnt umber, ochre, vermilion and teal palette, and smooth blended modelling confined to one focal passage, transforming any subject through selective finish.
On 4 models
The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
Jeremy Mann + Nicolai Fechin + oil on gessoed panel, where Mann's scraped layering creates an abraded surface of dark translucent glazes through dragged knife edges and incised vertical hairlines, and Fechin's slashing broad strokes produce loosely abstracted peripheries via lost-and-found edges, and the panel's tooth infuses ridged impasto that catches light. The fusion manifests as opaque knife slabs over thin dark underpainting, a burnt umber, ochre, vermilion and teal palette, and smooth blended modelling confined to one focal passage, transforming any subject through selective finish.

Model-neutral
The same look with artist names and copyrighted references removed — for models that refuse them.
Scraped atmospheric urban realism + slashing Russian-émigré bravura portraiture + oil on gessoed panel, where scraped layering creates an abraded surface of dark translucent glazes through dragged knife edges and incised vertical hairlines, and slashing broad strokes produce loosely abstracted peripheries via lost-and-found edges, and the panel's tooth infuses ridged impasto that catches light.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Opaque knife slabs sit over thin dark underpainting, dragged edges and incised vertical hairlines abrading the surface into translucent glaze. Peripheries break loose through lost-and-found edges and slashing broad strokes, while the panel's tooth ridges the impasto so it catches light. Smooth blended modelling is confined to one focal passage. A burnt umber, ochre, vermilion and teal palette; selective finish transforms any subject.

Using it
- Paste the prompt, then add your subject after it — for example …, a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk.
- The original names artists. Some hosted models refuse that or quietly render around it — on those, use the model-neutral version, which describes the same handling without the names.
- The effect-only version drops the recipe altogether and describes only what the style does to a surface. Use it to mix this look into another style, or when you want nothing traceable to a source.
- Every sample here was rendered against the same short subject — Quiet streets whisper / Her footsteps echo softly / Sunlight paints her path — so it shows the style, not a lucky subject.
