# Ochra

> Ochra is a mobile teacher for people learning to paint on real media. It pairs
> structured, technique-specific lessons with feedback on photos of the physical
> work in progress: you paint on your own paper, photograph each step, and get
> back at most three things, each one with what to do next.

## What it is

- **Real media, never a generator.** The artwork happens on real paper and
  canvas, made by the learner. Ochra looks, teaches and says what to fix next;
  it never paints for anyone and is not an image generator.
- **Lessons.** Watercolor first, in pans or tubes. An ordered path from easy to
  hard, one thing per lesson, running from materials and water to a simple
  landscape. Lesson text is written and reviewed by a person, never generated at
  run time. Other techniques — watercolor pencils, acrylic, oil — get their own
  paths later.
- **Feedback.** At the end of each step the learner photographs the paper and
  gets a reading of it: at most three marks on the photograph, each with a note
  saying what is wrong and why, or what worked and why it was hard, and what to
  do next. There are no scores, grades, stars or streaks. Every reading carries
  its own limit: it is read from a photograph, and if the paper says otherwise,
  the paper wins.
- **Who it is for.** People teaching themselves to paint who already follow
  tutorials but have nobody to look at their own work. All ages.
