Cave painting follows the rock: ochre bison and charcoal horses along the stone's own bulge, hand stencils blown in pigment. These nine cross a bison, a running herd of horses and a wall of hand stencils, rendered as ochre-and-charcoal cave art, engraved rock and a modern flat print. Ask for a mammoth or a hunting scene instead and the same three finishes redraw it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each image is drawn in landscape format (1216×832) with an even margin — prints clean at A4 or A3 held horizontally.
Can I use my own scene instead of the three shown?
Yes — the direction field takes your own idea, such as a mammoth or a hunting scene, and the same three finishes draw it.
What's the difference between the three finishes?
Ochre and charcoal is the classic torchlit cave-wall look; engraved reads as incised stone under raking light; modern print flattens it onto kraft-paper colour for a cleaner poster.
Is this a photograph of a real cave?
These are new images drawn in the style of Palaeolithic cave art — not photographs or reproductions of a specific cave or panel.

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.
