Tip
Tip
You can reference specific artists in your prompt to achieve a particular style. For example: 'a landscape in the style of Van Gogh' or 'portrait photography in the style of Annie Leibovitz.' However, be aware that using living artists' names to generate commercial work raises ethical questions about intellectual property and fair use.
