Claude builds Quick Study, a photo-to-painting tool
What happened
Simon Willison reported on October 24 that he had earlier asked Claude Fable to simulate watercolor illustration with P5.js, then used Claude Opus 5.5 High to build Quick Study, a tool that quickly paints a photo. Using a canvas element and simulated brush, it paints a photo in seconds. The implementation uses Sobel edge detection and depends on no external libraries except Google Fonts. The report covers Quick Study's painting results and how it is built.
