Sunlit Alley Gouache Portrait

An adult woman and an adult man stand at the end of a wooden pier on a bright afternoon, looking toward the viewer, a lake behind them. No letters, words, signs or logos anywhere in the image. Warm painterly gouache street portrait filling the frame edge to edge. A sunlit pastel alley in pink, butter yellow and pale green, rendered with visible drybrush strokes and soft texture; shuttered windows, a hanging lamp, distant sea haze. The subject glances upward with a dreamy open smile: large green eyes with bold lashes, strong brows, blushing cheeks, long neck, auburn hair blowing as sweeping tapered strands tied with a yellow bow; striped pink dress with a rounded collar and small gold buttons. Golden late-afternoon light, warm values, soft painted shadows, cheerful storybook mood.

Create a new image entirely in the style of the attached image: the same medium, materials, technique, rendering and character design (how it builds faces, eyes, hair, bodies and proportions). Do not copy its color palette or its environment; colors and setting follow the direction at the end. Subjects: a woman and a man seated side by side at a small round cafe table with two cups and a croissant, and a merle grey-and-tan French bulldog sitting in front of the table facing the viewer. She has a short blonde bob, a cream ribbed cardigan, blue jeans and white sneakers, legs crossed, chin resting on her hand, smiling softly at the viewer. He has tousled light brown hair, an olive overshirt over a white tee, beige chinos and white sneakers, one hand on his cup, looking at the viewer. Everything, faces, hands, clothes and the dog included, is made in the style of the attached image; nothing photographic. Square 1:1 composition. Do not copy the attached image's people, objects or scene. Direction: whole-scene warm painterly gouache with visible drybrush strokes and soft texture, storybook character design exactly like the attached image: large expressive eyes with bold lashes, strong brows, rosy blushing cheeks, wide open happy smiles, slightly long necks, her blonde bob and his light brown hair lifted by a breeze in sweeping tapered strands; she rests her chin on her hand; breezy hilltop terrace in clear morning light with a white limestone wall, deep green cypresses, a cornflower-blue sky and pale terracotta paving with soft cool shadows. Keep real clothing colors. No text, letters, captions, banners, signs, swatches, color chips or decorative rules anywhere in the image. The artwork and any border finish completely inside the frame; nothing is cropped or overflows the edges.
