Why does the open rose start from a spiral?

The centre spiral is the core the petals wrap around. Each ring of petals is added outside the one before.

What is the difference between the styles?

Classic is a plain black outline built up one panel at a time. Guide shapes starts from light gray circles and ovals and traces the black outline over them. New lines in red shows each step's lines in red over the black lines before.

Can I ask for a different arrangement?

Yes. Type a different arrangement, such as a rose vase or a rose bush, and the page is built to that request. The result is not guaranteed to match the nine shown.

Are these hand-drawn?

No. They are illustrations made for this page, not scans of hand drawings.

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.
