Generation prompt
Distant mountains, a river, sloping banks and lone trees, large blank areas left as cloud and water; only ink values on rice-yellowed paper; soft diffuse light, depth through mist; texture strokes alternating with washes, brush tip, ink bleed and paper fibre visible; space receding by pale versus dark. Avoid bright colour patches.
