A brush-led picture in black ink with soft washes of colour that bleed into the paper grain. The lines feel quick and confident, and the pale tints leave plenty of empty rice-paper space around the subject.

A traditional Japanese ink wash painting of a [subject], created in expressive sumi-e style with flowing black ink lines and delicate [color1] and [color2] watercolor tints. The pigments softly bleed into textured rice paper, evoking a sense of serenity and timeless beauty.

How to use it

Replace the bracketed subject with the thing you want painted, such as a crane, bamboo stalk, or plum branch, and pick two soft colours for the tints. Keep the reference to flowing ink lines and bleeding pigment on textured rice paper, since those words carry the sumi-e look. The result suits a framed print, a greeting card, or a calm background image. It was shared as a GPT Image 2 prompt.
