Manual Landscapes #1

These images are based on a rough pencil drawings that I produced while sitting on the beach in the Caribbean thinking about the Group of Seven. Using the rough as a guide, I created some line art using my iPad and Affinity Designer. I then created some horizontal line art in P5. I imported the P5 line art into Affinity Designer and reworked the whole image manually to create an original artwork. Finally, I used that original to generate a wide range of variations using Stable Diffusion.

Landscape 18

Another variation on trees. The original drawings were produced in Affinity Photo on the iPad then manipulated with Stable Diffusion for variations on the output. I have included both the originals and the Stable Diffusion (SD) outputs for comparison.

Landscape 15

A shading study of rocks in the water. I can't find the original artwork but it was a series of rock shapes shaded on the iPad in Affinity Designer. I then added P5 lines for the water and sky. Finally the original was imported into Stable Diffusion to produce the abstract below.
