Mostly Chinese brushwork
The category belongs to the Art section, beside Drawing, Watercolor and Calligraphy. What sets it apart is the ink painting tradition: most files are brush pictures with washes that fade to nothing at the edges. That soft edge is what makes them usable without a background — the painting simply dissolves into whatever colour you put behind it.
Wide formats
Several landscapes are very wide and very large: the mountain lake and the city skyline are panoramas meant to run across the full width of a page. They make good header images, but crop badly into squares. Smaller single motifs — a blossom branch, a leaping deer, a big cat — fit into a corner or beside a block of text.
Framed versus loose
The two cow pictures are shown as objects: a framed painting and a canvas print photographed at an angle. Use them for a wall art shop or an interior mock-up, where the frame is part of the point. For a decorative background, pick the unframed ink work instead. Spatters and ink blots are here too, and serve as texture layers rather than pictures.
