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
I 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
I use Image Creator to bring illustrations to life and ChatGPT or Copilot to write poetry or stories that accompany them.
