Hand & Machine

You'll see exactly where a palette built at the mixing table diverges from one suggested by a model, down to how each one behaves once it dries. We'll walk through both methods on the same small painting so you can decide which step belongs in your own process.

You'll learn exactly where an AI upscaler can help a print workflow, such as preparing a digital file for a large plate, and where it starts to work against the medium. We tested it across linocut, etching and screen print to see which stage benefits most.

You'll follow the same small figure made three ways, hand-built in clay, modeled in 3D software, and generated through an AI image-to-mesh tool, to see what each method asks of you. We compare the time, the control and the surprises each route produced.
