Reading 1Mist mountains
Reading 2Bamboo
Reading 3Plum branch

Chinese ink wash renders mountains in mist by the weight of a single brush, water as empty paper, a red seal in the corner. These nine cross a shan shui mountain scene, a stand of bamboo and a plum branch in bloom, rendered as classic graded ink, light colour wash and loose splashed ink. Ask for a lotus pond or a horse instead and the same three styles redraw it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each image is drawn in portrait format (832×1216) with an even margin — prints clean on A4 held vertically.
Can I use my own subject instead of the three shown?
Yes — the direction field takes your own idea, such as a lotus pond or a horse, and the same three styles draw it.
What's the difference between the three styles?
Classic ink is graded black ink on rice paper with dry and wet brushwork; light colour adds pale blue-green washes over the ink; splashed ink is looser, with pooled abstracted forms.
Is this a reproduction of a real painting?
These are new images drawn in the shan shui ink-wash tradition — not reproductions of a specific historical scroll or painter's work.

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.
