In a captivating display of traditional Chinese ink painting techniques, an old steam train barrels forward on tracks encompassed by rising black smoke that blends seamlessly into the hazy, monochrome background. These rough, splattered, and impressionistic strokes capture the train from a dynamic high-angle view, accentuating the rapid spinning of its wheels while making the train appear as if it’s surging directly out of the painting. The smoke, executed with a deep black ink, flows from the locomotive’s front, enveloping the scene, and accentuating the movement along the damp tracks. The artist employs blurred and abstracted imagery, with large areas of white space that starkly contrast the detailed black smoke and provide an atmospheric sense of mystery and tension. The overall effect brings the viewer into a surreal yet immediately recognizable landscape where one can practically hear the chugging and hissing of the train. Using –sref for realistic AI art in MidJourney enhances these traditional techniques in a marriage of old-world artistry and cutting-edge technology, showcasing the powerful locomotive as it cuts through a blurred, ink-washed world.
