• Use soft lighting keywords: soft morning light, golden hour, misty, ethereal glow

• Include dreamy effects: bokeh, soft focus, floating dust, dreamy haze

• Keep subjects gentle and calm – no sadness, no harsh expressions

Avoid:

• Dark or saturated colours (black, neon, deep red)

• Harsh shadows, high contrast, direct noon sun

• Gloomy, melancholic, or scary themes

• Photorealistic or sharp digital textures

• Crowded scenes – pastel dreamy needs space and air

Limitations & Notes for Flux

⚠️ Very complex multi‑figure scenes may dilute the dreamy simplicity – keep 1–2 main subjects.
⚠️ Specify pastel or soft pastel if results are too vivid or saturated.
⚠️ For stronger painterly look, add watercolour texture or soft brush strokes.
⚠️ Flux sometimes adds unwanted realism – use negative prompt photorealistic, sharp, harsh shadows.
⚠️ The LoRA works best at weights 0.6–0.8. Above 0.9 may oversaturate pastels.

Credits & Philosophy

Pastel Dreamy is not about sadness – it is about the soft, beautiful moments that feel like a half‑remembered dream. Inspired by the illustrations of Mary Blair (Alice in Wonderland concept art), the pastel landscapes of Hiroshi Nagai, the ethereal photography of Tim Walker, and the gentle magic of Studio Ghibli (especially The Secret World of Arrietty).

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” – Roald Dahl
