Traditional Chinese ink painting of a bamboo grove in summer, on warm rice paper with generous empty space.

Mark the corner with a small red artist's seal.
Aspect ratio: 21:9.
```

## What each phrase does

- **A** `five tall stalks`: The count sets the rhythm across the scroll; five stays open.
- **B** `drifting leaves`: “Drifting” turns stiff leaf clusters into loose, overlapping sprays.
- **C** `a small red artist's seal`: The only colour in the image; it marks where the eye ends.

## What is it good for?

Flat shapes and a limited palette print cleanly at large sizes and look deliberate on a wall.

## How do I adjust it?

- Describe brush texture (dry brush, wet wash) rather than line thickness.
- Place the seal explicitly; otherwise it may land on the subject.
- The marked phrases in the prompt show what each part controls.
- To change the subject or colours, start from the [ink scroll template](https://promptseen.dev/en/templates/ink-scroll/).
