Tips & Best Practices

• Flat perspective: Persian miniatures do NOT use Western perspective. “Flat perspective with multiple scenes visible simultaneously.”
• Mineral pigment names: “Lapis lazuli blue, vermillion, malachite green, saffron gold” — these specific pigments define the palette.
• Microscopic detail: “Every textile pattern, tile design, and flower petal individually rendered” — the density of detail is the hallmark.
• Gold leaf accents: Essential for the luminous, precious quality.
• Pairs well with: Ukiyo-e Woodblock (similar flat perspective, different culture), Illuminated Manuscript (similar manuscript tradition)
