The result of a successful crowdfunding campaign, this painting robot combines water color paints with traditional printing technology. The WaterColorBot is a collaborative project between Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and Super Awesome Sylvia.
The simple printer paints your images in water color, which offers new methods of artistic expression. The painting robot moves the paint brush to recreate your digital art using a standard kids' water color paint set. There is also a real-time follow feature for sketching. This product also functions with regular printer paper, so there is absolutely no need to purchase specialized art supplies for it to work.
Capable of making identical copies, the WaterColorBot is perfect for making another copy for grandparents or making multiple storybook pages to give as gifts.
