Bright paint looks brighter against black, so the dark ground becomes part of the picture.

Are these pictures black and white only?

No. The neon flowers use bright pink, orange and lime; the dandelion and the lake use white and gray.

Can I change the subject?

Yes. Type another subject and the black ground and the three settings carry it.

What are the three settings?

On an easel against a pale wall, hung in a living room, and lying flat on a white work table with open paint pots.

Reading 3Moonlit lake

A black canvas makes every color glow, so people paint it for pictures that use the dark rather than cover it. These nine show neon flowers in pink, orange and lime, a white dandelion blowing its seeds across the black, and a full moon over a still lake painted only in whites and grays. Type another subject, such as galaxy or butterflies, and the same dark ground carries it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
