Simulating paintbrush strokes in TikZ
I am wondering if there exists a way to simulate paintbrush strokes in TikZ when filling in a shape. So given the following:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
tikz{
draw[fill=red](0,0)rectangle(10,10);
}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Instead of a solid red shape I was hoping to make it look like the red part was painted on with a paintbrush. I'm not exactly sure how what that would look like but I'm guessing maybe some randomly wavy lines that are a little darker and some maybe that are a little lighter? And I guess one would want for the paintbrush to have a thickness so that you'd be able to see the difference between one stroke and the one next to it.
Looking at examples of actual paintbrush strokes online it looks like the light/dark parts vary a little on each line but that might be a complication not worth pursuing.
Having all the strokes go down would be fine but being able to indicate a directions would be cool.
And while I'm sure something like this is possible in various image editing programs, I need to do this in TeX/LaTeX as part of an automated file generating process.
