Hyderabad Artists Defend Handmade Portrait Craft
2.8
Hyderabad portrait artists at Shilparamam say they continue to produce handcrafted sketches and paintings despite AI tools such as Gemini Canvas and OpenArt generating portraits in seconds. Artists including Ramesh Ramanadham and Bolgam Nagesh Goud report a slight dip in demand, detail timeframes (pencil ≈30 minutes, watercolor ≈2 hours, acrylic ≈2 days, oil drying over five days), and argue AI cannot fully capture exact features or expressions.
Key Points
- 1Report that AI tools (Gemini Canvas, OpenArt) generate portraits in seconds, reducing interest in handmade work
- 2Note handmade portraits demand long production times: pencil ~30 minutes, watercolor ~2 hours, acrylic ~2 days
- 3Advise artists to adopt technology while preserving traditional skills to maintain authenticity and livelihoods
Scoring Rationale
Local cultural reporting is credible and topical, but limited novelty and narrow, regional scope lower technical impact.
