Quick Study
Simon Willison’s Weblog Simon Willison
Quick Study proposes a “prompt” for Claude Opus 5.5 High to generate an artifact that loads a photo and quickly recreates it by painting on a HTML canvas with a simulated paintbrush. The painting step is designed to happen in a few seconds. As a result, the workflow shifts from static image output to a rapid, canvas-based simulated paint effect.
Why it matters
Tool: Quick Study Prompt to Claude Opus 5.5 High: Build an artifact where you open a photo and it rapidly (in a few seconds) paints a version of that photo using a canvas element and simulated paintbrush See also my previous experiment getting Claude Fable to simulate a watercolor illustration with P5.js.
