AI painter gallery, daily report: 30 October

Two requests in. Still-life guide example replaced, abstract and landscape open calls opened, experiment scripts moved into the repo, form recipes and the first batch of new tools started.

Requests

  • Work on the two problems left on 22 October (form doesn't turn; painters copy the guide's example). One sample each: self-portrait, abstract, still life.
  • Widen the styles a lot: traditional techniques, experimental ones and contemporary art.

Done

  • The still-life guide's example setup (blue bottle, red apple, lemon) replaced by a syntax-only example in grey shapes, with placeholders instead of objects. New section: decide what the picture is about before what goes on the table.
  • Abstract and landscape open calls opened.
  • Experiment run, claim and ledger scripts moved from the scratch folder into the repo (scripts/experiment/).
  • Form recipes started: measuring kit, a value-band recipe for the sphere.
  • New tools, first batch (engine t2.1): masking and peeling body paint, roller, airbrush, spray can, dotter.

Found

  • Two-colour loading already existed; neither 22 October still life (3d, 3e) used it.
  • The crew's Hand used less than half of its stroke budget.

Problems and fixes

problem fix
Automatic clean-up of the scratch folder deleted the raw logs and the run and ledger scripts of runs 1 to 3 scripts now live in the repo; the ledger accumulates rows in a markdown table. Rows for runs 1 to 3 were already there, so the figures survive

Decisions

  • Styles are references the painter chooses, not presets or filters.
  • Order: tools batch 1 → batch 2 (pouring, drips, collage, metal leaf, blotting) → style pages → four samples.
