How to remove glare when photographing paintings https://youtu.be/v84eIWt0i_g
Hi everyone! The number of AI text-to-image platforms keeps growing. If you are interested in experimenting with AI, here are a few of the platforms that are worth checking out:
(1) Midjourney
(2) Dall-E 2
(3) Playground AI
(4) Dream by WOMBO
(5) NightCafe
(6) Canva (this is integrated into their overall site)
(7) Dream Studio (Stable Diffusion)
There are a number of other platforms beyond this list, but I am most familiar with the ones I mentioned.
Finally, remember that YouTube is your friend when it comes to tutorials. There are many good tutorials
explaining the ins and outs of most of the major AI platforms, advice on how best to use prompts.
Feel free to email me if you have any follow-up questions that might want to discuss. Good luck…..
Hi Crista and everyone. Sorry I can’t be with you in person ( I’m performing at a jazz concert!)
My question is……..
“I have developed two distinctive styles both based on the landscape but one is a more conventional style and the other a really ‘weird style’ BUT…amd here’s my dilemma…I get equally good and enthusiastic responses to BOTH.
I’ve tried doing a census of opinion and it’s literally split down the middle! I’ve made good sales, top sales, from BOTH styles.
Therefore I am in a quandary and hence my question to you.
“Do I just be the Artist who just did that? Or should I not confuse the public and galleries and stick to one?
The ‘weird stuff’ has a lot more expenses involved in that I need to pay sitters and models as well as Actors.
** NB re; actors, I have had the best One Man Show ever and people still talk about that and it made one of the best profits ever in my career.
But then I’ve ‘knocked em dead’ as we musicians say with the more conventional style.”
So my question is….
Do I stick to my guns with the conventional but successful and just do the weird stuff privately?
OR
Do I switch to the mainstream ‘weird’ stuff and have the conventional as ‘prep work’ ?
Or as I say above have a ‘side room’ where the weird lives?.
I should point out here that two well known Artists have blatantly stolen my very original ideas
( Andras Kalman ‘Crane Kalman Gallery’ publicly championed my ‘very original eye’ ) for the ‘weird stuff’ in the past!
Hence me worried that I should choose??????
Or do both
Or not
HELP????
Thank you. Yours very distressed Artist.
I cannot make that date. Are the session recorded to watch later?
Always! We always record the sessions. You can find all of the past sessions on your dashboard. If you hover over the coaching call link on the left, it will show the page with the past recordings. Lots of artists like to listen to them while they work!
