DOC.01What defines this style

Wild nonnatural color and blunt strokes free the portrait from realism.

Fauvism simplifies observed forms and replaces local color with intense emotional complements applied in broad, unapologetic strokes. The direct surface and strong contour create lively portraits without the fragmented geometry of Cubism.

Practical notes

  1. Ask Gemini for nonnatural face colors if skin returns to beige.
  2. Use ChatGPT to simplify shapes before increasing saturation.
  3. In Stable Diffusion, protect broad brush direction when correcting small features.
