painterly (adjective): of a painting or its style, characterized by visible brushwork and the rendering of form through color and tone rather than by line. This is a program that takes a photo and paints it that way, in your browser, while you watch.
A big brush lays in the underpainting. Finer brushes come back only where the picture still disagrees with the photo. Every stroke runs along the image instead of across it, so brushwork follows fur, edges and the line of a roof. It finishes in 45 seconds at any size — 20 for the underpainting — then stops.
