Shitao Wandering Mountain Paths (Style-Only, Image-Conditioned)

Re-render this image as a restless Qing-dynasty ink landscape in the visual register of Shitao. Honor the source composition exactly; interpret existing edges as paths for the eye, not literal roads inserted into the scene. Pull long, interrupted brush lines around the subject's strongest contours, then change pressure and moisture as those lines pass from near forms to distant ones. Give foreground surfaces dry, fibrous brush texture and background surfaces soft gray washes that bleed lightly into absorbent xuan paper. A controlled pause should collect dark ink at a bend; a quick lift should leave a threadlike continuation. Use lampblack, muted slate gray, and a thin tea-colored paper ground, with no decorative bright pigment. Let one visual route link foreground, middle distance, and background even if the source is a still life or portrait: mark its existing depth relationships rather than adding mountains. Alternate compact clusters with open passages so the eye can travel across the original arrangement. Keep the largest silhouette legible at 1024 square while allowing secondary texture to feel hand-made and exploratory. The result should feel observed in motion, neither a static diagram nor a chaotic splash. Leave a calm, uncluttered band of negative space along the top or bottom edge where a title could sit. Strictly no on-canvas text, no legible lettering, no signature, no watermark, no logos. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering. Aspect ratio matches source.
