Produce four original images in the visual language of Famille Rose, a style from Ceramic Styles, 1720s–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: designing tableware or packaging decoration where opaque pink tones carry the whole motif on a white ground, or reproducing in print or on screen a motif that reads through the body of the paint rather than through transparent layering. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- An opaque enamel from pink to purplish rose carries the strongest colour on the piece
- The enamel is opaque, so the white porcelain body does not show through the painted areas
- Painted over the glaze, so decorated areas and the plain white reserve catch light differently
- The same style turns up on French, German and English wares, where only the brushwork gives the origin away

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Leave a wide white reserve and gather the painting onto one face. The border between motif and reserve is the edge of the paint, not a ruled line
- Type and lettering: If text is needed, keep it to a small column of thin brushed strokes that never encroaches on the painted area
- Material and surface: Build on a white ground with an opaque pink to purplish rose at the centre. Raise value by adding white rather than by thinning, and grade tone by adjacent flat areas instead of transparent layers
- Colour: #F4F1E9 carries the ground, #DE8FA6 is the colour the style is remembered by, #9C4F73 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: luxury, technique, exhilaration

## What goes wrong

Painting thin as if layering transparent washes destroys the opacity that defines the style and leaves only a pale floral pattern.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
