so what’s to do ?
technology doesn’t go away and if you owe your living to painting the threat is greatest.
the systems at the moment seem strongest on synthesising stroke, gesture and colour
so make these your USP – unique selling point. In volume terms, square inches of canvas, people buy art terms of the domestic enjoyment of filled square feet of wall space. You cannot blame them for buying a pleasing image, screen printed onto canvas and neatly framed, which has a “impressionist” look about it.
Meet your purchasers and get them to like you as a person. Pictures are not the easy equivalent of a 1000 words; your story in probably well over one thousand words has to be the narrative of their purchase decision.
Sorry to be so negative but that is the arc of capitalism in this age
