Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is an area of computer graphics that focuses on enabling a wide variety of expressive styles for digital art.
In contrast to traditional computer graphics, which has focused on photorealism, NPR is inspired by artistic styles such as painting, drawing, technical illustration, and animated cartoons.

Photos immortalize memories, happy moments and significant event in someone's life.
Painting can also highlight the emotions of this photo to unfamiliar persons.
We wish to implement an aoristic method that automatically renders images to painting.

Some programs, like Photoshop, already aim this goal, but user's intervention is nedded in order to obtain good results.

Our goal is to create ,in a Matlab area, an algorithm which is able to transfom picture to oil paint, without any user's intervention..
