A method of automatically transforming an arbitrary pixel image into a corresponding simulated water color like image is disclosed. The method includes dividing the image into regions (630) having substantially the same color characteristics (632). Once divided, the borders (734, 735) of the regions are determined and filtered. The filtering utilizes the color of the regions on each side of the border to produce a mixture color along the border.
