FEATURED ARTIST
ANDREA KOWCH
OUR DAYS
USA
American painter Andrea Kowch (born 1986) is known for her haunting magical realism paintings that seem to directly inherit the artistic traditions of Andrew Wyeth. Kowch's mostly female characters inhabit rural settings and mysterious scenes heavy with unsettling atmospheres.
Let's see how Midjourney recognizes Andrea Kowch's name in V3 and V4:
by Andrea Kowch --v 3
by Andrea Kowch --v 4
And that's how other versions react:

by Andrea Kowch --testp
by Andrea Kowch --testp --creative
Andrea Kowch's style in Midjourney is strong and dominating. Her girls and women take over 9 out of 10 generations with her name. Even when the prompt does not imply any characters, Midjourney will place Kowch's signature female characters in it.

Let's try overcoming that by adding --no girl , or --no people to our prompts.

And this is how raising the recently released Stylize value affects Andrea Kowch's style:

Kowch's style is perfect for melancholic, slightly surrealistic fairy tale scenes. Especially if your main subjects are beautiful females with light sadness inside.

FEATURED TECHNIQUE
MANDALA
mandala --ar 3:1 --v 3
Mandala is Sanskrit for "circle." Philosophically, it is an artistic representation of higher thought and deeper meaning given as a geometric symbol used in spiritual, emotional, or psychological work to focus one's attention. Visually, it is a beautiful mirrored pattern arranged in a circle.

mandala --v 4
The first mandala is believed to appear in India c. 1500 - c. 500 BCE. Since then, cultures worldwide have used the image of the mandala in many different periods up to the present. Mandala even became the subject of Carl Jung's most extensive, groundbreaking work on its meaning and purpose.

sand mandala --v 4
Sand mandalas, now mostly practiced in Tibetan Buddhism, are colorful mandalas made from sand that are ritualistically destroyed to symbolize impermanence and the Buddhist belief that death is not the end and everything returns to its element. Each Mandala is dedicated to specific deities.
