Digital Painting Classroom: Learning Oil Painting Using a Tablet

We investigate how the use of a real-time physically plausible oil paint simulator implemented on mobile hardware can be used to teach novice painters the fundamentals of the art and how more experienced painters can use it as a cheap and fast experimental tool. The paint system believably recreates 3D oil painting with a number of new user-interactions. The paint reacts to the gravity vector set by the tablet and the paint is rendered using the ambient light captured by the front facing camera. The user experience ranges from thin, diluted watercolor paint to thick impasto oil paint allowing to recreate a variety of traditional painting styles digitally.nrpages: 2status: publishe
