Stillwet gives models a simulated oil painting studio
What happened
Hacker News reported on October 2 on Stillwet, a project that gives AI models such as Claude Opus 5.5 a simulated oil painting canvas so they paint by writing programs instead of using image models. The environment simulates linen canvas, bristle brushes, wet paint, drying and layered glazing. Of the 75 works shown, 46 used the virtual easel flow, painting in stages and stepping back to look. The experiment also logged models repeatedly picking similar subjects: of 65 titled paintings, 31 titles mention evening, dusk or sunset.

该项目为 Claude Opus 5.5 等 AI 模型提供模拟油画画布，让模型通过编写程序作画，不使用图像模型。环境模拟亚麻画布、鬃毛画笔、湿颜料、干燥与分层罩染，展示的 75 幅作品中有 46 幅采用分段绘画、退后查看的虚拟画架流程。实验还记录了模型反复选择相似题材的现象，65 幅有标题的画作中有 31 幅标题包含傍晚、暮色或日落。
