08-17-2018 Automated Photo to Watercolor Painting with realistic wet-in-wet

This is a paper on our actual Watercolor Studio product. Most details are explained and things are broken down into the simplest form. Watercolor Studio seems complicated at first but after reading this you will see that it is quite simple. Of course coming up with this simplicity to begin with was harder :-) but we also looked at research papers written by other great engineers to give us inspiration.

07-03-2018 A Simulated Watercolor Painting with Smooth Ink Flow

Recently I cam upon a new patent that was granted on a watercolor technique. The patent system is all about protecting the inventor but the other great purpose with the patent system is to progress the world around us. The patents are all public so fellow researchers and engineers can take those patents and make them better. Some decide to re-patent those ideas but I am choosing to not patent new ideas but instead post them for everyone to see and maybe come up with even better ideas.
