Abstract: Based on analyzing the art effects of Chinese ink and wash drawing, a novel graphical simulation algorithm for Chinese ink and wash painting based on Perlin noise was proposed. We used the theory of Perlin noise, by constructing random noise functions, interpolation functions and different frequencies of the Perlin noise function to get the art effects of Chinese ink and wash painting. The experiment results indicate that the proposed algorithm can simulate the typical art effects of Chinese ink and wash painting successfully.
