Well photography never stopped people from painting. Honestly the sad truth of what stopped so many artists from painting in their life is that they fear not making enough money. In truth photography did have a hand in cutting an artist’s profitability but I think thats more to do with how our economy is structured than the existence of a ‘replacement’ technology.

Are you maybe seeing a different medium? Coloured pencils relies less on having an active underpainting than say oil paints. Plus hyperrealistic art requires a lot of pre planning so the forms move about less so painting zone by zone is more viable in a weird way. Though you can do either in most styles and mediums you just gotta adjust to your preferred workflow

They probably didn’t have the knowledge or understanding of pollution to consciously portray it.
However since the whole schtick is to paint outside, while touching grass, and paint as you see. If what you see is pollution you paint pollution. Its also less of a ‘wanting to paint things as foggy’ and more of a ‘wow this fog sure is aesthetically pleasing lemme paint it.’
Whether or not that inspiring fog was caused by pollution is what is being looked at.
