Watercolour: the antidote to AI

Artificial Intelligence is having an enormous effect on my profession. I’ve been working with it, amazed at the quality & speed of the results. But I’m becoming disillusioned at handing most of the creative process to a machine. My response has been to go back to my beginnings, works on paper. I’ve been experimenting with watercolour and really enjoying the process. I miss command z though!

The Paper Shop in our building has sadly closed after 23 years. They were very friendly & helpful & stocked a huge range of magazines, one the of biggest in London. I’ll really miss them. We had a party on their last day & I made this watercolour for them.

A friends house in Norfolk. You can see it’s long history, doors blocked up, windows moved, small cottages joined together. I really enjoyed painting the flints in the walls, listening to podcasts.
