Maybe train it 'backwards'? I mean take a painting [1] as the input and perturb it with a photographic image toward photo realism. [2]

[1]: Assumptions about the 'quantity of art' inherent in painting versus photography seem to be playing a role. Both are typically flat images and are computationally fungible. So maybe photo styled to photo might be a different training set. It's not that radically different from etching applied to photograph.

[2]: anyway, still an awesome project. What I imagined is something that could have subtle effects on a photograph as an artistic tool for photographers...because that's my bias.
