AI vs Hand painted - should I give up?
Переглядів 44 тис.2 місяці тому
AI art is still quite a big topic on the internet. There are still many artists who are understandably worrying about being replaced by AI. Aside from all the ethical debate surrounding this topic, I’m not a big supporter of using AI to create a painting. So, I did a bit of an experiment, and I want to share the process with you today.

Very impressive & stunning artwork no doubt thanks for sharing
Don’t believe we control water but work with it and as a beginner either go to wet or to dry. It’s a challenge know even best artists deal with it.
How everything comes together with the final wash is incredible and a lesson: never give up on your painting before you added all your layers. You never know if it will turn out great in the end. A lot of time a final glaze can reveal or fix values or tones.
I think he is probably the greatest watercolorist in the game right now although I am a huge Buffalo Kaplinski fan, but I wish Joseph would paint with less gray tone and a little bit more color pop
Why is there never a tutorial with basic cheap paint? Am already depressed that i cannot even paint and its worst that tutorials don't help. What are all those colors? I don't have those things
Thank you Eric for sharing this amazing book with us. It is so inspiring!!
Bravo! Do what you love ❤ and we will follow 😊
Thank you, Eric. 😢 We are all hoping for a better world but we are helpless except for our little corners of the world ❤
Very cool!
Ty!
Thanks you sooo much 🙏 Eric for a allowing us to enjoy this beautiful ❤️ book. I saw the post about this book and it is limited edition, so it is difficult to get one. You are really lucky to have it. 😊
Thank you. Learning my palette and having my washes prepared and generally being more organised seems needs to be my priority for now. ❤
I'm soo pleased to see you back with us. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for uploading this, Eric. I got introduced to Z thru your channel, and I have always been in amazement. I was also able to get this book but my copy is still in Australia, so I am glad I am able to see it as I won’t get my book until about November 😂
How did you buy it? How much was it? Can u provide any info that would help others to get it also? I find it strange that Joseph doesn’t have any books to purchase besides his prints or original art that not everyone can afford. Fine art Snub or bad pr/marketing on his part. But great artist… shame no one else can get these books otherwise.
@@smoothatwork they don't print a lot. They only had 100 copies sold and I was able to get a copy as I have connected with Lisa since my last book purchase in 2020 during pandemic. I don't think the books are meant to be sold for business, but it was more of a way to get some copies to art enthusiasts and was mostly in the circle of artists. Maybe it has to do with Z not wanting resellers, as he did not like his first book Mastering Atmosphere and Mood in watercolor selling at crazy prices now. sorry you did not get a copy.
Ty :)
It would be interesting to know who inspired him in developing his style of painting.
He has mentioned it somewhere in his videos about John Singer Sargeant and other impressionists painters
Richard Schmid has a similar style using oil paint. Every artist is influenced and takes a bit of technique and qualities from another. Contrasting hard lines vs soft is one of Schmid’s focus. And it’s reflected in Joseph’s work with added atmosphere and washes that watercolour provides.
lovely
Plein air is useful for observing colour intently, which photographs tend to flatten. Trying to paint watercolour is practially a non starter. It's either too hot, too windy, raining, the list goes on. The last time I attempted to paint outside the paint dried virtually as soon as my paintbrush touched the paper. I find it best to sketch, make colour notes, take a photo and together with your memory of the scene complete a painting inside, where the environment and light remain constant and optimum. Love your videos Eric...
Eric, your teachings are sensational, thank you. I'm a beginner in watercolor and I'm learning a lot from your videos. 🤗
Esta más linda la acuarela que la foto
I am so happy to see this book and his new work. It makes me want to cancel my work day and go home and get out my watercolors and get back to practice.
What a wonderful video! Only fellow artists know how much work is involved in sharing their art!
Thanks for sharing with us 🙂 I found out the museum in Shanghai but sadly I guess the book could only be bought there.
🔥🔥🔥
Im jealous......and happy for you :) Ive learned much from you.
Damn, I would love to get my hands on one of those books. Well done!
hermoso!
How special this is for you Eric... Thank you for sharing this... I love your videos and your paintings are wonderful too...
He's a beast when it comes to watercolor... No one is near his work
Eric, I love your raining watercolor too 👍👍👍
Awesome, Eric! Such a wonderful gift 😁
Love Joseph but Herman pekel is my favourite. His paintings have a crazy messy manic touch to them. Always pushing the boundaries
Very beautiful
I really like how you explain everything ❤❤❤❤❤ love it
You are a wonderful teacher. Not everyone has that ability. Thank you for sharing this.
Another wonderful interview! Thank you Eric!
Fantastic demo! I enjoyed hearing your love for your wife and family as you described your perspective on pregnancy. And you helped demystify watercolor skin tones for me. Thank you.
Thank you SO MUCH for this interview!!! I discovered Ellie's work while watching the AsiaLink sketchwalk videos and pictures :D
Thank you very much. Very helpful for my watercolor painting !
1:13 Tell that to people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh 😂
My god!!!! You are the god of color mix and speak so gentil and soft and so much knowledge and wisdom!!! What a sensitivity! I loved and who wise give you dislike have problem. Totally subscribed <3 Thank you for such precious class!
Thank you so much for such kind words 😊
You are a great teacher. Thank you for the focus on values. You speak slow enough for me to follow and are clear in your explanations.
I use Ai as a source for designing my painting reference...then I paint my own painting. Nothing will ever replace a painting, painted by a human spirit.
Wow, spent months trying to find out how to paint so that it looked nice and the way I wanted it to. Cannot count the videos that I watched without understanding my problem. Then I watched this video and all of a sudden everything is clear. You tell everything in a way that makes it easy to understand. Of course I have to practice a lot to get as good as I would like to be though now I have fun. When knowing why and how to paint, it is such a pleasure. Also when making a mistake - I now know what I did wrong and can correct it. Thank you soooooo muxh. In my opinion you are the best teacher that I have ever seen and heard.
So glad this is helpful for you 😊
Thank you for this excellent video, it helped me to think about how to set up my mini studio in the corner of my dining room. Your painting are beautiful and I am inspired to keep practicing and improving thanks to artists like you who share your experience
New subscriber and I've watched on TV and mobile, so 2 subs for you. This really explained the steps in painting light first and the structure of different reflections. I loved your demo painting at the end and I feel I could try something like that! 😊
Eric you are an excellent analyst of values. You have inspired me to study this more. Beautiful painting. I am also from Washington and enjoyed much of the beauty there.
After many years making videos and trying all kinds of lighting ....can I give my ideas on lighting.......ok so your light is directed on to your painting but also catching the rest of the darks around your board and your hands ok //////so it is better to have your full room, itself lit up as much as possible ,,,light boxes work to degree ,,but remember to make you. room lights bright as possible not the paper ......work outside you may see what I mean ...........
So good!
When it comes to situations like this painting where cars are needed, but the space is very small....Is it possible to utilize a rough-'sidestroke'....kinda like how Chei Chung Wei can use a sidestroke to establish an entire city of lights in a night time painting?
