Abstract

A watercolor model based on an ordered set of translucent glazes, which are created independently usinig a shallow water fluid simulation. A Kubelka-Munk compositing model is used for simulating the optical effect of the superimposed glazes. The computer generated watercolor model is used as part of an interactive watercolor paint system, or as a method for automatic image "watercolorization."
