Abstract
This paper proposes a framework for computational modeling of artistic painting algorithms, inspired by human creative practices. Based on examples from expert artists and from the author's own experience, the paper argues that creative processes often involve two important components: vague, high-level goals (e.g., "make a good painting"), and exploratory processes for discovering new ideas. This paper then sketches out possible computational mechanisms for imitating those elements of the paint
