## Prompt

```text
Keep the person's face, features, skin tone and expression exactly as in the uploaded photo, so friends recognise them instantly; change only clothing, styling, setting and light. Paint the person as a loose, original watercolour illustration on cold-press paper: soft washes, visible paper grain, gentle colour blooms and a few crisp ink details on eyes, lips and jewellery. They sit on steps lighting a diya in a flowing saree or kurta in rose and gold; around them, washes of marigold orange and indigo night, small diyas painted as bright gold dots with white highlights left unpainted. The face keeps their exact features and skin tone with delicate shading. White paper margins fade at the edges. No text, no signature. Aspect ratio 9:16.
