The Bantam Tools WaterColorBot™ creates paintings to decorate your home and explore your creativity with real brushes and real watercolor paints that transform your photos and designs into beautiful, expressive artwork. Paint pictures and designs that flow with the charm of traditional watercolor and the accuracy of modern robotics. Whether you’re an artist, educator, or crafter, the Bantam Tools WaterColorBot™ invites you to explore a new way to create watercolor paintings.

At home or in the classroom, everyone can gather to watch as the Bantam Tools WaterColorBot™ brings a painting to life. It dips its brush into real watercolors, washes between colors, and paints in graceful, fluid motion. Children discover how art and automation come together, adults rediscover the joy of hands-on creativity, and everyone gets to experience the magic of painting with a machine.

Everything you need to start painting is included in the box: an easel, watercolor palette, set of paints, watercolor paper, and brush, just add water! Getting started is easy. The Bantam Tools WaterColorBot™ works with the same Bantam Tools Studio™ software that powers our flagship ArtFrame™ series, which makes it simple to turn any vector drawing or digital sketch into a painted masterpiece. It’s ready for you right out of the box with built-in watercolor controls, including automatic brush washing, color dipping, and smart paint loading. Paint any design you create, geometric art, nature scenes, handwriting, or experimental color studies, with the press of a button.

The latest update to Bantam Tools Studio™ introduces the Image Processor, a new feature that converts photos and raster images into brush-friendly watercolor strokes. With adjustable brightness, contrast, and brush density settings, it gives users full control over how their images translate into expressive painted works of art.

The Bantam Tools WaterColorBot™ runs entirely on its own with a built-in MicroSD card slot and bright OLED display. Load your painting files from Bantam Tools Studio™, insert the card, and begin painting without connecting a computer. The 9 x 12” painting area is perfect for standard watercolor pads and paper sizes, making it a natural fit for classrooms, studios, and home workspaces.

Compact, quiet, and built to modern standards for the next generation of artists, the WaterColorBot delivers Bantam Tools’ signature accuracy and reliability. Its brush motion is driven by high-resolution stepper motors and a premium coreless servo for smooth, consistent lifting and dipping. Each stroke is controlled with microstepping precision, letting you paint delicate details or broad washes with ease.

Beyond Watercolors

While the Bantam Tools WaterColorBot™ shines in watercolor painting, it’s equally at home experimenting with other media and ideas. Artists have adapted it for ink, gouache, and mixed-media work, exploring how precision and randomness blend in machine-made art. In classrooms, it inspires curiosity about coding, automation, and design. In studios, it expands what’s possible with traditional materials. Wherever it’s used, the Bantam Tools WaterColorBot™ turns artmaking into an experience that’s creative, expressive, and alive.
