# Painterly Style

Pigment feel. Soft edges. Illustration lighting.

## Sublooks
- Watercolor: paper grain, bleeds, light washes
- Oil: thicker strokes, richer impasto suggestion in texture

## Tenets
1. Soft terminators
2. Pigment/paper overlays in mat or comp
3. Limited harsh specular
4. Composition like a canvas, not a game HUD shot
