Researchers of oriental color ink painting have concentrated on physical models such as brushes, papers, and ink diffusion. These models can be effective when painter depict a painting by tablet pen. Abstraction is main notion of oriental color ink painting. More than thousand years, oriental color ink painter uses this notion for representing their feelings. If a painter has poor skill to use tablet pen or drawing ability, result should be not satisfied. In this paper, we propose an interactive painting method for oriental color ink painting. We use a computational approach to abstract landscape image and reproduce a painting by oriental color ink painting method. The reason why we use landscape image, landscape painting is a major theme of oriental ink painting.
