## Prompt · English

```text
Minimal ink painting of a bare winter branch without blossoms, the seal in the upper left, dark dry-brush strokes, warm paper tones with ink black, a small red seal in the corner, wide empty space on warm paper, 2:3 aspect ratio.
```

## What is it good for?

A strong central image with space above or below for a title.

## 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.
- To change the subject or colours, start from the [ink scroll template](https://promptseen.dev/en/templates/ink-scroll/).
