The whole picture
A volcano, yellow fields and people holding a flower garland share one picture. Bright colors fill it.
Look at spot 1
The volcano has red slopes on a deep green mountain, with black smoke rising. The pale blue sky makes the colors stand out.
Look at spot 2
People lift an orange flower garland high to make a big ring. The ring ties everyone together.
Look at spot 3
The white clothes carry red and green flower embroidery. Each small pattern is painted in by hand.
Five colors
The yellow and orange of the field, the pale blue sky and the deep green face off against each other. All are strong colors, so it reads cleanly.
Where your eyes go
Your eyes come down from the volcano to the flower ring, then to the figure in white in front.
Try it yourself
Say the color names yourself, such as red, yellow and green, and bold colors come out.

Notes for experienced creators
Example sentence
Villagers holding a flower garland together in front of a yellow field and a red volcano
- Pick three spots at most for the eye to rest on. Any more and the picture blurs.
- Put one subject, one light and one mood into a single sentence for a clearer result.
- Paint the same sentence in different styles to see the differences between them most clearly.
