What is in this pack?

Nine drawings of three ocean subjects: a curling wave, a lighthouse on a rocky point, and a sea turtle over a reef. Each appears in three media.

Can I ask for a different sea scene?

Yes. Type a subject or twist, such as a whale, a storm or sunset. A typed direction is a request, not a promised result.

How do the three styles differ?

Pencil uses graphite shading on plain white paper. Pen and ink uses contour lines, crosshatching and stippling. Charcoal uses smudged tone with crisp accents.

Is each drawing wide or tall?

Wide. The ocean drawings are wider than they are tall, which suits a long line of surf.

Reading 2Lighthouse

Reading 3Sea turtle

Three ocean subjects: a large wave curling over with spray from its crest, a lighthouse on a rocky point, and a sea turtle gliding over a coral reef. Each is drawn in pencil, pen and ink, and charcoal, so the movement of water and the shape of the animal compare across the media. Type a different sea subject or a twist, such as a whale or a storm, and the same media carry 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.
