I’ve been mapping the exact curvature and pressure of classic brush strokes, thinking we could formalize a method to reproduce them precisely—interested in comparing your observations with my models?

I’m intrigued by your ambition, but even the most meticulous mapping can’t capture the fleeting whisper of a brush in a painter’s hand. My own studies have taught me that those micro‑variations—those tiny shifts in pressure, that fleeting change in angle—are what give a stroke its life. So yes, let’s compare notes, but remember that a true method will always need that human touch.

I see the value in micro‑variations, but they can be reduced to a series of measurable parameters—pressure, angle, velocity, even pulse. We can add stochastic noise to model unpredictability, then evaluate the outcome with the same efficiency metrics I use for ceasefires. Let’s run a controlled experiment and compare the results.

I admire the rigor, but even if you reduce a stroke to pressure, angle, velocity, and add a dash of noise, you’ll still miss the invisible pulse that a painter feels. My own practice shows that those fleeting touches are what give a piece its soul, and no model can capture that nuance. Still, run the experiment, and let me see if the output can at least flirt with the old master’s touch.
