This document delves into Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR), emphasizing its artistic applications in computer graphics. It poses the question of what constitutes the "best picture for every task," contrasting traditional photorealistic aims with the need for versatile artistic representations. The discussion includes methodologies for imitating various artistic media such as watercolor and pencil, supported by machine learning techniques. It references key works and resources in the field, showcasing advances in NPR, particularly at conferences like ACM NPAR and through influential publications.

Can we help them? • Imitation (theft): Simulate existing artistic media • paint, charcoal, pencil, watercolor, marble, • Imitation (theft): Simulate artistic conventions • ‘learn to draw’ books • machine learning on works of art • analysis of working artists • What can we learn from the human visual system?
