ON THE BEACH : The Gaugan IA Drawing Contest on Hive - Week 43

My drawing was created using the software, Nvidia GauGAN. This week's drawing represents a beach scene with a hotel, beach houses, and condos.

In this drawing, I decided to see how the Gaugan AI Drawing program would handle a background utilizing an image of a beach scene. I found and uploaded a photo of a beach located on the Gulf Coast among my personal inventory of travel photos.

I have included here my original photograph:

Below is the brushstroke image of my personal background beach photo after I uploaded it to the program.

After looking at the interpreted drawing, I felt it needed something extra, so I inserted the following brushstrokes:

1. To the left side to be interpreted as a row of houses.
2. To the top to add clouds to the skyline.
3. To the bottom right side some bushes and trees to add a bit more greenery.

My brushstrokes truly enhanced my original photograph. Below is my complete brushstroke canvas with my additions:

I noticed was that the Gaugan program didn't include any type of images that represented the people on the beach. The picture is a bit dark and the figures blurry. I only wanted the beach scene, hotel, and skyline for the background, so I was pleased with the result. Also, I couldn't get the brushstroke for the sea to produce even a semblance of water.

Another feature I noticed about the photograph I uploaded is that the interpreted drawing had a smoother texture than just the brushstrokes. Not so much grainy in appearance.

I then applied several filters and effects. Here are my results:
