Funny you should phrase it this way. I know you mean prompts as description, but I would currently prefer declaring/describing what I want in a higher-level functional way rather than doing all the stateful nitty-gritty iterations to get it done. Some folks want to do manual memory management, or even work with a borrow checker, I'm good for most purposes with gc.

The question is always what's your 'description' language and what's your 'painting' language? I see the same in music: DJ's mix and apply effects to pre-recorded tracks, others resample on-the fly, while some produce new music from samples, and others form a collage from generated soundscapes, etc. It's all shades of gray.
