The 40×50 cm painting. I finished painting the one I am holding in the photo above at the end of August 2023. I applied the technique known colloquially as “painting by numbers.” There are many sites on the Internet where, for a small price, you upload any photo (in this case a selfie) and they create a canvas with numbered areas and send it to you along with a kit consisting of brushes and the acrylic paints corresponding to each number. Each numbered area corresponds to a color and you just have to paint according to those numbers. It is a very relaxing way to learn to paint and practice the art of… patience? . When I finished the painting, I wanted to continue with the experience of painting with numbers but it occurred to me to give it a twist with an exciting idea.
I thought: What if instead of uploading a selfie or any other photo, I upload an image generated by artificial intelligence? The path to follow would be something like “ from the pixel to the brush ”. No sooner said than done. To test, I uploaded one of the first images I created in early 2023 with the prompt “ Bob Dylan singing in a bar in New York with his girlfriend Suze Rotolo, painted Costa Rica Mobile Number List by Robert Crumb .” The generated image is the following and was the one that, cropped to adapt it to the 40×50 dimensions, I uploaded to the “PIntar con numbers” website (you can also see it at the Museum of Artificial Art ) ai-prompt-x4sdlhpm75hbvce7jf6fit2bom Newsletter nº 344 - From pixel to brush A couple of weeks ago, I finished the painting and I have to clarify that - of course - it is a physical work that I am not going to trade, it is for personal use and is only for educational purposes. I say this in case there are questions about possible copyright problems.
The image that was generated is unique (see the hands?) and I assume that Robert Crumb never painted a work even similar. The result has been the following: IMG_1044-768x1024 Newsletter nº 344 - From the pixel to the brush And to give you an idea of what the canvas looks like before painting it, here is a photo of the first steps: IMG_0799-768x1024 Newsletter nº 344 - From the pixel to the brush My next experiment is to do the same but with the pointillism technique. The Pintalotu.es website creates a painting with dots of different sizes and sends you the canvas and markers. To test, I will make my next painting in a pointillism style, using the model proposed by PIntalotu, shown below; from a photo taken in June 2019 in Washington.
