Paint Tube Squeeze: Starry Night in 3D Relief

A creative prompt template designed to analyze a famous painting (like Starry Night) and generate a hyper-realistic image of a giant oil paint tube being squeezed onto a palette, where the extruded paint forms the 3D landscape of the analyzed artwork, emphasizing viscous impasto texture and studio lighting.

Prompt

Do this for {argument name="painting name" default="Starry Night"}<instruction>

Input A is a Famous Painting (e.g., The Mona Lisa, The Scream). Analyze: The brushstroke technique, the 3D depth implied, and the hidden symbols. 
Goal: A "Paint Tube Squeeze." A giant, realistic oil paint tube sitting on a palette. 
Rules:
Action: The tube is being squeezed, and the paint coming out is not just a blob, but it forms the 3D landscape of the painting. The Mona Lisa's face is emerging in 3D relief from the 2D smear of paint. 
Texture: Viscous, thick oil paint texture (impasto). 
Props: Paintbrushes, a dirty rag, a palette knife, plus culture appropriate tools and environment and tiny 3D printed version of the painter on the desk drawing it on a tiny easel and a newspaper headline covering the inspiration behind it. 
Lighting: North-light studio lighting, true color representation. Output:
ONE image, 4:5, "artistic process" aesthetic. </instruction>
