February 29, 2020

Drawn in the Argos Gallery of Santa Fe:

Altered with Deep Dream Generator

Altered with different source images

in Deep Dream Generator

All 20 minute stages of this drawing were altered, starting with Deep Dream Generator, in the same sequence as the drawings of February 26, 2020.

Lots of editing,

in Photoshop, PaintsChainer, and Deep Dream Generator

(this image looks like it should be printed in 3D

in aerogel)

All this digital editing opens new doors (like showing how color would look with my drawings), but the results aren't entirely satisfactory. I need to touch up the results on a tablet.

Moreover, I'd like to print the altered images out large, and oil paint on top of them. I believe the painting that I commissioned in China, of one of my drawings, was done this way. It seems like there must be a whole wave of painters doing such, perhaps ushering in a 21st century movement.

After the drawing session

I went to Kathamann's opening -- Arabesque --

EDITING PROCESS

I altered all the above drawings with Deep Dream Generator, applying the style of this drawing (without the head, as shown below) to each drawing above.

Then I imported both the altered drawing -- and the original drawing -- into Photoshop and blended them in Layers, to get the final drawings that I posted above (note: I resize both images, so that they have the same pixel dimensions first):

I chose Luminosity, at the bottom of the first menu column, which discards the color

Then I faded the colored altered drawing, on top of the original drawing, by diminishing the Opacity in the second menu column, until I got the solidity that I wanted.
