I have been using the Flickr dataset because it can be used for commercial purposes.
Did you managed to get anything that looks like a decent painting/drawing with this dataset? I only got crap lol
About wikiart dataset, it seems it has a mix of stuff under Public Domain and copyrighted without permission to use for commercial purposes. So as all the comes packaged in the dataset, there is not permission.
From Wikiart TOS:

WikiArt presents both public domain and copyright protected artworks. The latter are showcased in accordance with fair use principle:
as historically significant artworks
as used for informational and educational purposes
as readily available on the internet
as low resolution copies unsuitable for commercial use
And yeah thanks, I'll keep goingwith my crazy experiments :D
Thanks for clarifying on the WikiArt usage details. I have had some interesting results... but they are more fractal or repeating chaotic around the iamge than oriented in a cohesive way. Kind of like a creature in the movie The Thing. Since i wasn't going for a drawing or painting look... i don't have much to guess how it would do if prompted to properly. I will let you know after some experimenting. Cheers!
Well, in my experience the free to use datasets start with a random mixture that seems... a photography of little stones in the sand... then it start to transform it... the AI tries to do a painting as I have asking for... but the results are just atrocious lolol
Idk, I'll keep trying stuff. And I'm interested in the results of your experimenting as well!
Regards!
