Oil on Canvas, Watercolor, Gouache, Acrylic, Pastel, Woodcut, Screenprint, Etching, Risograph, Generative Code, Pixel Art, Glitch Digital.

Style Recipes (26)

Recipes are actionable layer stacks that an AI agent can apply to a sketch. Each recipe includes:

• Layer stack — ordered design layers with typeId, blend mode, opacity, and properties
• Suggested palette — curated hex colors for the style
• Recommended renderers — which genart renderers work best
• Agent guidance — natural language instructions for the AI

const recipe = getRecipe("impressionism-landscape");
// → { layers: [...], suggestedPalette: ["#8DACD4", ...], agentGuidance: "..." }

// Find all recipes for a movement
const recipes = getRecipesForStyle("movement", "impressionism");
