Artificial intelligence can’t replace the majority of jobs right now in cost-effective ways, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found in a study that sought to address fears about AI replacing humans in a swath of industries. In non-cost-effective either methinks.

I've been following Nathan Fowkes for many years. The sheer poetry of his work is astounding and nothing I could say would do it justice. If you're into Art in its true sense, visit his website. His tutorials and demos are real eye openers. Complex subjects are presented in a clear and succinct manner. And if you ever wondered what color is about, this is the place to go to. Thank you very much Nathan for being there for us all, your generosity and the Beauty you bring into this world. https://lnkd.in/g24g-3Fg

Pre-computer days: the Sleeping Beauty (National Opera of Paris) 3d Act scrim rendering. Watercolor. It's a scan of a low res analogue photo, hence the quality*.

13 years ago: how it all began. Trained architect and set designer, I specialize first and foremost in Environments and World Building (VFX, games etc.). That said, American Golden Age Illustration always fascinated me. This was the first and somewhat naive attempt at producing one. I don't rate it as a success, though, due to a serious mistake I've made. It was a stupid idea to paint all main groups separately and then simply try and combine them into the final image. I used the full tonal range in each of them, so when it came to harmonizing it into a coherent image I ... ran out of courage and steam. That was a hard lesson. Nevertheless, here it is - "The Gentle Ladies of Port Royal".

Anyone interested in learning realistic painting? If yes, please PM me for details. Thank you.
