Bring a painting or artwork to life
This prompt animates a painting or illustration while keeping it looking painted, with drifting clouds, rippling water and swaying trees. Without the "keep the style" line, models often turn artwork into a photo. Landscapes work best.
Animate this artwork, 16:9, 5 seconds. Keep the painting's style, brushstrokes and colours exactly the same, so it still looks painted. Add gentle motion: [MOVEMENTS, e.g. clouds drift, water ripples, birds fly across and the trees sway]. Very slow camera push-in. Calm, dreamy mood. No new objects, no text.
Say "keep the style exactly the same" or the model may turn the painting into a photo. Landscapes animate more cleanly than portraits.
