Where AI dances with watercolour – A fusion of pixels & pigments.
An exploration of creativity, storytelling, and AI-assisted illustration
(How I blend AI and watercolour for expressive art)
Having painted in watercolours most of my life, generative AI allows me to push further, diving deeper into my imagination. AI as digital watercolorist creates art that’s both organic and reimagined.
My process: Prompt AI to craft paintings that feel natural and alive, showing how technology can enhance, rather than replace, the soulful essence of hand-painted art.
Tools: Image Creator to bring illustrations to life and ChatGPT or Copilot to write poetry or stories that accompany them.
The Sea that Grew the Whale
A quiet piece about release, transformation, and the deep work of holding.
I will never stop looking for you
A robotic figure, cloaked and crouched in quiet vigil, evokes a timeless seeker—resilient yet weary. The mechanical form paired with a deeply human posture mirrors the poem’s central theme: enduring longing that persists beyond logic, distance, or even time.
This AI-generated poem is a meditation on longing and the way absence leaves its shape.
Before the Garden, i
This painting and piece of writing vividly reimagines the biblical figure of Lilith as a primordial force of independence and resilience. Emerging from the Abyss, she is portrayed not as a creation but as an equal, embodying untamed energy and defiance. This is the start of a longer series of fictionalised writing, reworking biblical myths.
I Gave Him My Cloak
"He did not look like a prophet. He looked like a man forgotten by both land and water."
A quiet offering.
A tide that erases.
A moment that stays.
🌊 I Gave Him My Cloak is a poem about compassion without expectation, shaped by the rhythm of the sea and the presence of a stranger.
Finding Beauty in the Process: AI Art on a Rainy Saturday
Today's exploration underscored the importance of patience and adaptability in working with AI art. By embracing the process—not just the results—I explored ways to coax the medium toward something unique, organic, and fluid.
States of Being
A figure rendered in delicate line art sits in quiet reflection, while abstract watercolour strokes in vibrant greens and blues swirl around, creating an atmosphere of introspection.
The Forest Became Them
A bold watercolour of a someone's profile with colourful bursts symbolising the flow of creative energy and connection to an unseen, ineffable reality, to illustrate a short poem.
The Song that Bent the Light
Lilith stands at the edge of the first silence and speaks a word never before uttered—a word of self, unbound. The Garden trembles, unable to hold it, and she leaves, casting the word into the world. Though forgotten by history, it lingers in defiant hearts, waiting to be spoken again.
The world that appears when you close your eyes
A pale, dark-haired woman in white stands in a swirling underwater dreamscape, surrounded by mythical creatures—serpentine dragons, horse-like beings, and a skeletal beast, evoking danger, mystery, and otherworldly beauty.
The Watcher in the Eucalyptus
A lone figure emerges beneath the eucalyptus canopy, reaching toward something unseen. A crow perches above, watching in silent understanding. This AI-generated illustration captures the ethereal, mythic essence of ‘The Watcher in the Eucalyptus.’
The Howl and the Hollow
A figure kneels, their spine entwined with a tree, its branches stretching into the unknown. An illustration to the flash fiction “The Howl and the Hollow”.
Tideborn
A dreamlike silhouette emerges from the waves, AI & watercolour dancing together. A reminder that art isn’t about tools—but imagination.
