AI images experiment (1)

 

An experiment with creative use of AI. 

I used an old drawing (La piscine des erreurs, from september 2016), applied reverse prompting and used the resulting texts (with some adaptations) to generate a few AI images. I used stable diffusion 3.0 through the Openart platform. Most of the results were not to my liking, I noticed that you will need some tweaking of the prompts to get nice results. Then I used one of the better images as inspiration to make a new drawing. See above, the one with the drapes. 

Then I converted the drawing through reverse prompting into an AI image again, see below. I will use that one to draw something new again. Interesting results.

Amersfoort, USk-NL day (2)

 

Forgot to post this one. Not 100% content, but that's okay. My aunt lives in Amersfoort, she is 99 years old, will be 100 in November. She has a painting of this scene hanging in her apartment, dating from about 1940 or so. But even though that one is a winter scene, nothing much has changed since then.

Helle (Nuth)

 

Just returned from a trip with my bike. Went to Helle, a small hamlet near my town. I stood in the fileds, along a footpath (which is part of the Camino de Santiago, the pilgrim route to Compostella in Spain), to make this drawing. Forgot my watercolour, but I am okay with this.

Linkin Park in Arnhem

 

I went to the Linkin Park concert in Arnhem, last Thursday. Together with my son, Mart. A great concert and a valuable father-son moment.
