The brushstroke repeat keeps the hand in the pattern: loaded strokes with a dry tail and a visible bristle track, laid in rows. These nine hold a bold saturated stroke, a scratchy dry-brush stroke and a softer watercolour stroke, the row's breathing room changing with each. Ask for a different stroke colour and the same three techniques carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each stroke pattern is a seamless repeat at A3 proportions, printing clean at A4 or scaling to fabric yardage.
Can I get a different stroke colour?
Yes — name any colour, and the same three brush techniques render it.
What's the difference between the three techniques?
Bold uses a fully loaded, saturated stroke; dry-brush shows the bristle track breaking up as the paint runs out; watercolour softens the edges into a translucent wash.
Is this a real painting technique or a generated texture?
The stroke shapes draw on real brush-loading and dry-brush technique as a style reference for a generated abstract print, not a scan of an actual painted canvas.

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.
