I generated most of the images below using Midjourney or DALL-E.
I’ve used AI (usually MidJourney) to create many of these images, requesting them in an impasto painting style. I added specific instructions at the end of my prompt to ensure the images have a suitable aspect ratio for WordPress. For example, in Midjourney:
“Create an image of four people sitting at a table in a business setting, engaged in deep conversation, in impasto painting style —ar 1200:628.”
After generating the image, I used Microsoft Office 2010 to reduce the file size, which helped improve the webpage’s load speed. Once optimized, I uploaded the image to WordPress. This process ensures the images are visually appealing, properly formatted, and web-friendly.
Impasto is a technique where thick layers of paint are applied to a surface, creating textured strokes that stand out from the canvas. This style highlights the physical quality of the paint, allowing light to catch on the raised areas and creating subtle variations in tone and shadow.
Vincent van Gogh often used impasto, applying bold, swirling brushstrokes and intense colors to add structure and emphasis in works like Starry Night. The texture adds a tactile dimension to the painting, making the brushwork and the artist’s process more visible and immediate.
