Gestural Mark-Making AI Art Prompts
14 AI image style prompts built on gestural mark-making. Each is a reusable style block with a sample image: paste it into Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion, GPT Image or any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end.
13 of them also have a model-neutral version with artist names removed, for hosted models that refuse them.
Artists referenced in these prompts include Edgar Degas, Gustav Klimt, Cy Twombly, Jean-Michel Basquiat.
