Aquarelle is a JavaScript library by Ramotion that applies a watercolor painting effect to images using Three.js shaders. It animates a transition where an image is revealed through a mask with noise-based distortion, mimicking watercolor bleeding.

Use cases

• add a watercolor reveal effect to images on a website
• create artistic image transitions in the browser
• animate an image appearing like a painting
• apply watercolor filter to photos with JavaScript
• build an animated hero image with paint-like effect

When to choose

• you want a distinctive watercolor/paint image transition on a web page
• your project already uses Three.js and you want a shader-based effect
• you need a lightweight, MIT-licensed visual effect component

When to avoid

• you need a modern, actively maintained library - the last release was 2019
• you want a general-purpose image editor or filter tool
• your project avoids Three.js as a dependency
• you need effects for non-browser environments
