## About this style

Calligraphic strokes organize space through changing density and moisture. Dry-brush breaks and lost edges leave room to breathe as both subject and setting become ink relationships on absorbent paper.

Ink-wash posters place subject and surroundings within one system of marks and open space.

Faint distant buildings and a dry-brushed foreground tree can let untouched paper become both water and mist.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Varied ink lines condense features and folds; fading edges place expression in a few decisive gestures.

- **Landscape**: Ink density separates rocks, trees and mist, while blank paper suggests water and air.

- **Object**: A few strokes capture the silhouette, reducing reflections and material detail in favor of gesture.

**Subjects**: Choose mountains, bamboo, rocks, tea vessels or simply posed figures with open space around them.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Distill the entire image into Chinese ink painting on absorbent xuan paper. Calligraphic black strokes, broken dry-brush edges and pale gray washes establish the subjects, with natural ink blooms spreading through the fibers. Use a few source-derived color accents sparingly. Build space through ink density, lost edges and paper white, keeping the main forms compact and surrounded by generous breathing room.
