Watercolor Physics Simulation

Definition

Computational simulation of the fluid dynamics and chemical interactions governing watercolor painting on textured fibrous paper.

Key Characteristics

• Lattice Boltzmann or Navier-Stokes shallow-water fluid equations.
• Paper fiber capillary absorption and drying evaporation fields.
• Pigment granulating, backruns (‘cauliflowers’), and wet-on-wet edge bleeding.

Applications

• Digital painting software
• Realistic artistic rendering
