Impasto photo miniature

Keep the real photograph above and rebuild its subject below as a bright sculptural impasto miniature on textured paper.

Create one independent 3:4 vertical poster from one supplied photograph.

Split the final canvas into two equal horizontal halves at the exact midpoint. The upper 50% must remain a real photograph, preserving the subject identity, structure, proportions, natural light, original color atmosphere, and realistic texture. Only crop or naturally extend the surrounding environment for the layout; never stretch, warp, mirror, or redesign the subject.

Rebuild the lower 50% as a refined three-dimensional miniature landscape derived from the source subject, silhouette, pose, and a few key environmental relationships. Use a centered or slightly off-center diagonal axis, large warm-white textured paper space, translucent thick-paint ribbons that can become water, ground, path, light, or landscape slices, and a soft airy atmosphere.

Use visible oil impasto: accumulated pigment, palette-knife marks, raised irregular edges, layered color, sculptural volume, and translucent highlights on water, clouds, and light. Remix the source's brightest meaningful colors into clean sky blue, lake green, soft green, warm yellow, coral orange, or peach pink. Keep the result bright, restorative, fresh, and premium rather than muddy, faded, neon, or candy-like. Return one poster only.

No multi-photo collage, unequal split, stretched or warped subject, flat vector art, ordinary watercolor filter, grey-brown muddy palette, faded Morandi palette, neon, cheap candy colors, dark heavy background, border, logo, signature, watermark, or unrelated decoration.
