Ink scroll
Fill in a subject, a season, the brushwork and a few details to get an ink painting prompt with plenty of empty space.
What is it good for?
Banners, wide scroll wallpapers and covers that need a quiet, East Asian feel. In wide ratios the empty space matters more than the subject.
How do I fill it in?
- Subject: one main subject, such as “a bamboo grove” or “a lone pine”. More subjects leave less empty space.
- Brushwork: decides the texture. Wet washes are soft; dry brush is rough.
- Details: up to four, and countable, such as “five tall stalks”.
The prompt itself stays in English: in testing, brushwork described in English came out more consistently.
