    This is what traditional art reveals. And quite well.

    Couple of years ago I was at a cannabis painting event (get stoned whilst painting), with my friend. I’ve got some experience drawing and sketching, very little with painting. My friend has very little experience in anything art related, yet whilst I was struggling to figure out what to paint he manages to make a lovely blend of colours and themes, in ways I never could. I was looking at it for a good while, and it had so many lovely elements. He kept thinking his wasn’t good!

    He would’ve never been able to make that with AI, it would have missed all that nuance.

        It’s quite a nice event, they try to do them weekly unless something comes up. They sometimes do stoner pottery, or design your own bongs with the erm, right type of paint I would presume lol. I don’t want it to sound like advertising, so if you are planning a trip to Amsterdam send me a message and I can give the website/socials :)

      If you’ve had very little experience with painting, how do you know how good you would be at it? Your friend might have a natural talent, but that doesn’t mean that you couldn’t learn how.

        Natural talent is a myth, it’s like believing that you shouldn’t think about what you’re doing to paint loose.

        It’s all hard work, and maybe in the end you can split up artists by talent, but until then it’s just who have learned the most.

      I chose to believe this happened. Jaden Smith has at least one friend and they were impressed with the art their friend made.

      I will carry this story in my heart and retell it at the next paint and sip I go to.
