Watercolor Alcohol Ink

 There are different looks for using a watercolor prompt for an image. Dry brush, wet, drip, outlined, and my favorite is the versatile look in images with the alcohol ink watercolor.

Soft Pastel, Soft Light

A simple prompt:

Abstract and Colorful

 A fun evening image of friends being at peace watching a sunset.


Using words for paint strokes, expression painting, 
and maximum color will give some beautiful results.

Books: All Sizes and Perspectives

 Adding Books!

Using AI prompts can lead to various results. The same prompt may not result in the same image. just changing a few words can give pleasing results. 



Be as creative and descriptive depending on the look you want.


Sometimes the generator will add extra limbs, fingers, or mis-shaped body parts.

3D Poster-Style

 

Sometimes the mood calls for a 3D poster-style image. There are so many different effects you can achieve by using dimensional prompts.

Small world Ecosystems (AI images)

It took a few tries to get a clear glass sphere, then what to put inside? What about a complimentary background? 

It is a delight to imagine fantasy worlds of perfection in places of beauty.


Adding light flares and water makes a new sense of place.


Adding some animals is always fun, too!


"an image of a large glass sphere with a miniature rainforest young woman is walking among the rainforest with her wolf, a small waterfall falling glass dripping sparkly icy rain on outside of Large glass sphere, ecosystem inside, featuring lush greenery, exotic animals, and reflections, light streams, detailed reflective painting, deep color, fantastical, intricate detail, splash screen, complementary colors, fantasy concept art, 8k resolution trending on Artstation Unreal Detail"

Exploring AI Images

 



This winter during terrible weather, I decided to play around with the AI image generators. It is fun and addicting! I started simple and did a bit more research, then attempted more descriptive prompts. I enjoy the results of Bing's AI generator the most. I also have enjoyed NightCafe, but sometimes the results are not consistent. I have tried other generators that offered free trials or some free credits, but not all were worth a paid subscription in my opinion.







Writing your prompts can be as simple or as complex as you wish, but remember, the longer your descriptive prompt, the less effective the words will become.

Sunflowers and Bees in my Garden...

 Lovely Busy Bees...

I could sit in the grass and watch the bees for hours. They are constantly flying from bloom to bloom in order to gather pollen. They are interesting and so very necessary to a garden!






Monarch Butterflies in my Garden...

 Beautiful Monarchs!

I have tried to attract butterflies and especially the monarch. I planted milkweed this past summer and was rewarded with beautiful monarch butterflies and their life cycle.










A few of my Favorites...

October Days and the last hummingbird 
of the season1






 Days and time come and go so quickly, it seems. I get so caught up in trying to find critters and birds to photograph that I forget to post a few images. I will try to be more consistent.
