A Small Table and a Watercolor Painting on an Easel

[Dave R]

The painting is by Henry Stannard, RBA from about 1885. I recently had a conservator clean up the painting and then had it framed. The image here is from the conserved but unframed painting.

I miss Stylebuilder. User created styles were always a great way to level both renders and native output.

Was SketchUp Diffusion meant to be the 'replacement'? I found it to be completely useless.

[Dave R]

I agree that it's unfortunate they removed StyleBuilder. I think it just didn't have enough users. I'll keep SU2024 installed as long as I can to keep StyleBuilder available. Diffusion was not meant as a replacement. It was meant as a tool to help users come up with ideas for their models. It wasn't meant to replace renderers, either. I've played with Diffusion a bit but it doesn't really have a place for my work.

FWIW, I used one of my sketchy line styles in the image above.

Is that an original painting that is yours? is is a beautiful water painting. I am nit picking here, and that artis stool would almost always have 3 legs as do all milking stools have 3 legs for stability, as they are unable to rock on a floor that may be imperfect or for using the stool outdoors

Yes. I own the painting. It was given to me about 60 years ago by a great aunt.

True. If it was a stool it probably would have three legs. But it isn't a stool. It's a small side table.

Unless its a barstool? Then you can turn it over when the pub is busy and 4 can sit on it.

Only in the "Commons" bar. I think they have enough though.

@Dave-R

It's a cracking piece and render.

[Dave R]

@Mike-Amos thank you. It's basically straight out of SketchUp.

It is a beautiful painting indeed,

@Dave-R
The reason I called it a render is because, it is that good tbh. Reminds a lot of Hellnbaks (Steve) works. In particular, a wood framed Velocipede (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocipede) which I still remember as being bloody brilliant.

Another reminder of just what Sketchup can do in the hands of talented people.

@L-i-am I like the painting quite a lot. It's so much nicer after it was cleaned up and framed.
