With data collected from the analysis of the characteristics of brush

water

ink and paper

this paper intends to standardize the painting process of Chinese ink and wash (sumi-e)

making the process controllable and predicable. It also tries to classify the rice paper and the painting techniques and defines the perceptual artistic presentation of sumi-e in a digital term. On the basis of the above analysis

this paper intends to establish a three-dimensional paper fibre model to achieve computer simulation of the one-stroke effect in wash painting. Moreover

the influence of paper fibre is taken into consideration in order to obtain a more diversified and more authentic simulation. This accordingly provides a unique platform for real-time dynamic simulation of realistic ink diffusion in that the result ant diffusion images reflect the texture and the global change of gray tones as well as local temporal variations specific to a particular paper. At last

examples are presented demonstrating the capability of the proposed technique for handling different ink and paper properties.
