Art style: Ghibli style. Close on the mixing bowl as warm water is poured slowly into flour, creating darkening spirals and channels before a crock of starter tips in after it. Tight close-up from a slight overhead angle, focused on the evolving surface textures inside the bowl while hands enter the frame only as action. Light is warm and directional from the side window, making the wet flour gleam softly. The mood is rhythmic, intimate, and quietly transformative. Dominant palette: ivory, warm tan, golden brown, cream, muted amber. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Ghibli style" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Ghibli style". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Ghibli style" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Mara: A woman in her early 30s with a slim, sturdy build shaped by daily kitchen work, warm olive skin, and expressive hazel eyes that soften when she smiles. She has a heart-shaped face, a lightly freckled nose, and chestnut-brown hair loosely tied into a low braid with wisps framing her cheeks. She wears a simple cream linen blouse, a faded blue apron dusted with flour, and rolled sleeves that reveal capable hands. Her overall energy is calm, attentive, and nurturing. She stands in a sunlit countryside kitchen with wooden shelves, ceramic bowls, wildflowers by a window, and early morning light glowing warmly around her.
