These are video tutorials, on art, maths and computer graphics. Most of the techniques that I use in these live coding sessions are documented in multiple of my articles, but these videos offer you an opportunity to see how they are used in context as part of the creative process.

Painting with Math
Painting a Landscape with Maths
10-4-2022
It explain how to use maths to art directed the painting of a landscape. I describe the formulas needed to do sculpting, surfacing and illumination. It's long and dense, so watching it a few times to get everything to sink over time is a good idea.
