Creative Generative Art: How to Easily Code Impressionistic Paintings from Photos With Processing

Did you ever imagine you could create a painting like this in code?  No?  Well, you can, and it is actually not too hard to do.  I would LOVE to show you how.

In this class we will be writing code to generate digital paintings based on reference images.  We will...

• Discuss how to pull colors out of a reference image
• Randomly throw brush strokes around the canvas in the correct colors
• Give the brush strokes random rotation
• Make the strokes decrease over time like an artist who starts with big strokes and then proceeds to add smaller details
• Add tints and gradient maps to adjust the colors of the painting
  
  and...
  
  
• Learn how to export high resolution paintings for printing!

This class is a perfect follow up to my first generative art class "Coding Easy Generative Art With Processing: The Basics".  If you have taken that class then you are more than ready for this one!  If you have not, you can either check that one out first for a more gentle introduction, or just jump in right here.

I know you can do it!  You got this.
