About

"Ambient Watercolor" was created as an experimental project for the class, Creative Coding, in the summer of 2022. The intention of the project was to allow users to express themselves by creative abstract watercolor paintings in a tranquil and meditative enviornment. It allows artistic expression with a combination of mind and movement.

Technically, the project was an experimentation with machine learning and generative art. ML5 was used to detect hand movement using the user's webcam and the watercolor brush was generated with recursive rendering of p5.js.
