🎨 SD3 Chinese Ink Painting Model – Fine-Tuned for Traditional Aesthetics

"Where AI Meets Classical Oriental Art"

This model is a specialized fine-tuned version of Stable Diffusion 3, meticulously trained to emulate authentic Chinese ink wash painting (水墨画, shuǐmò huà). It captures the essence of monochrome brushwork, poetic emptiness, and dynamic ink diffusion, making it ideal for generating landscapes, calligraphy, flora/fauna, and figurative art in the style of Song Dynasty masters, Bada Shanren, or Qi Baishi.

🖌️ Advanced Techniques

1. Dynamic Ink Control

• Use ink density:0.2~1.0 in X/Y plots to compare light (feibai) vs. heavy (nongmo) ink.
• Add <lora:InkFlow_v2:0.6> for enhanced brushstroke realism.

2. Scroll & Panorama Generation

• Enable Tiled Diffusion (in SwarmUI’s Extras) for long scroll formats (e.g., 512x2048).
• Trigger "Along the River During Qingming Festival" style with:

  ancient Chinese cityscape, bustling riverbank, ink scroll panorama,  
  detailed figures, seasonal atmosphere  
  

3. Style Presets (SwarmUI Integration)

• Load ChineseInk.json from the Style Gallery for:
  • Gongbi (工笔) (detailed realism)
  • Xieyi (写意) (freehand abstraction)
  • Splashed Ink (泼墨) (expressive blots)

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Struggles with complex modern scenes (stick to classical themes).
• Human faces may appear overly stylized (use portrait with caution).
• For color ink (淡彩), add slight watercolor tones but avoid vibrant hues.
