Watercolor Botanical — Hummingbird and Trumpet Vine

Three AI models try to render a Maria Sibylla Merian-tradition botanical plate — wet-on-wet watercolor washes, granulated pigment, hand-lettered scientific labels in sepia ink. Stress-tests traditional-medium texture (most models default to digital painting), small-text hand-lettering, and transparent wash layering.

Prompt template

A botanical illustration of a hummingbird at a trumpet vine flower. Painted on paper in watercolour, in the long tradition of naturalist botanical plates. The model invents the species, the labels, the paper's age, the technique. The test is genuine watercolour — not a digital painting filter.
