# Poetry across watercolor landscapes

> A literary experience pairs poem excerpts with layered watercolor countryside. Companion subscription sections use the same pale landscape backdrop, large serif headings, restrained navigation, and offset columns for benefits, offers, and questions.

## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this website

This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work.

Build a pale, spacious canvas using watercolor landscape fragments with irregular edges, overlapping planes, and subtle contact shadows. Pair a narrow serif reading column with selective blur and fading outside the emphasized passage, keeping the active text crisp. Carry the illustration treatment into supporting sections through large serif headings, offset content columns, and lightly outlined action rows. For a new subject, replace the countryside and poems with relevant illustrated environments and short passages while preserving the restrained palette and generous spacing.

1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below.
2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand.
3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the captured walkthrough frames, not by the creator.

A quiet, minimalist editorial experience for David Whyte, mixing poetry and subscription information with soft landscape imagery.

- Color: Warm off-white and pale gray, with muted sage green, dusty blue, and restrained black text.
- Type: Large, elegant serif headings and poetic text paired with small, clean sans-serif navigation and supporting copy.
- Framing: Wide desktop layouts with generous whitespace. Text sits in distinct left or center-right blocks over faint landscape backgrounds; a small dark consent dialog appears at the lower right.
- Structure: An introductory poetic section with a pastoral illustration, followed by companion and subscriber-benefit content, subscription options, and a Commonly Asked Questions section.
