I wanted to create an atmospheric street scene in the style of Atkinson Grimshaw, an English artist I greatly admire.
Created using Stable Diffusion with creative prompts to achieve the final image.
Artist Notes
John Atkinson Grimshaw (6 September 1836 – 13 October 1893) was an English Victorian-era artist best known for his nocturnal scenes of urban landscapes.
Grimshaw's love for realism stemmed from a passion for photography, which would eventually lend itself to the creative process. Though entirely self-taught, he is known to have used a camera obscura or lenses to project scenes onto canvas, which made up for his shortcomings as a draughtsman and his imperfect knowledge of perspective.
