Introduction John Perkins

[John Perkins]

For the purpose of learning about art(painting), I explore the use of automated painting effects on well composed digital photographs. I call the process Unskilled Art since no manual drawing skills are required.

I normally employ a series of painting effects using several different software programs where the decisions are which effects to apply, in what order, and to what degree. I tend to focus on painting effects that produce outcomes that fall into realism, surrealism, or impressionism.
