Whenever someone starts off saying something with
"Honestly, I..."
I kinda feel like they're about to tell me a lie.

Prompt image generated by Ben Bloch image modeler: "A high mountain lake with mountains in the background reflecting the morning sky"

The rest is time lapse of me working a hand made version on canvas. At the end I liked the touch of adding a little wind on the water.

What could AI—which is, after all, a human creation—have to tell us about our own human designs? Out of dozens of outputs, I selected nine to re-render in my own hand. This series is the result.

In late 2023, with the generous help of fellow artist and tech wizard John Brownell, I used a collection of my own paintings to train a custom AI image model specializing exclusively in creating “Ben Bloch” style painting images, generated from text prompt

[Ben Bloch Fine Art @benbloch7]

I wondered, what might these images based on a “Ben Bloch” visual language model have to offer to a landscape painter? What would happen if I reversed the feedback loop and re-rendered them in paint on canvas?

Each of the 9 large paintings in this series are on my website, with some time lapse videos and a bit of a fuller explanation of the project. Hope you have a chance to check it out!

For the past year or so I've been working on a project where--with the help of the amazing @obliojoe --I trained an AI image modeler exclusively on my past paintings. Then I gave it text prompts to make "Ben Bloch images" of any scene I described.

[Ben Bloch Fine Art @benbloch7]

The results were pretty interesting. Then I took it a step further by stretching large canvases and painting (in the traditional sense) a selection of the images it was producing. I'm excited to share the results now.
