Inspired by The Great Wave off Kanagawa

This AI-generated image is inspired by The Great Wave off Kanagawa. It is a new interpretation, not a scan or exact reproduction of the original artwork. Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa rises in a curling blue arc above small boats, with Mount Fuji in the distance. Strong outlines, foam and woodblock color create clear sections throughout the print.

The main subject gives the image a clear starting point. Begin with the strongest edges and separate nearby colors before joining smaller details. Repeated shapes become easier once the broad layout is in place. Save quiet background areas until the foreground has a firm frame. At larger piece counts, changes in texture and light help distinguish pieces that share a color.
