What size do these print at?

Each spread is composed at a wide two-page crop, suited to a landscape print or a journal-style layout.

Can I get a food-journal spread or more washi tape instead?

Yes — the direction field takes a subject or detail change, and the same open-spread frame carries it.

Is this a real photographed sketchbook or a rendered illustration?

It's a rendered illustration styled to look like an open sketchbook page — there's no physical notebook photographed.

What's the difference between the three media?

Watercolour keeps soft washes and bleed, ink is a crisp line-and-wash study, and mixed media layers collage, marker and paint textures together.

Reading 3Character study

An open sketchbook is its own genre — two pages, studies overlapping, scribbled notes, a strip of washi tape. These nine cover a botanical study spread, a travel spread and a character study spread, each rendered in watercolour, ink and mixed media. Ask for a food-journal spread, more washi tape, or a birthday-gift version, and the same open-page logic carries 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.
