I recently came across the work of contemporary, Tokyo based, artist Kaoru Yamada. Her imagery has many elements that appeal to me such as; strong contrast, indoor/outdoor compositions, good draughtsmanship, aerial perspective and atmosphere. There are a great many similarly delightful images of her work on the internet. The subject matter of this piece is in keeping with our current theme and I invite you to think about creating your own version of this featuring your table, cups, view etc – include any items that help to describe the moment.
Take a closer look at the image above... what do you see? Consider the scale of the objects and what is in the bowl on the right?
After scrutinising the painting you may not be surprised to learn that Yamada is a digital artist, the image above is one of many generative AI images that she has created. If you haven't tried this yourself, have a go. Simply Google a free AI image generator and type in a description of the image you'd like to create, the more detail the better, including style points like 'watercolour', palette etc.
This work is created digitally following instructions from an artist's original concept - is it art? What do you think?
Use your sketchbook to list the thing you feel define art from craft, design or other media. BIG STUFF!
Keep drawing, painting and experimenting with imagery and technique.
