Pincel B-Spline
Explanation:
Reference is in PT-BR, but translation also applies to PT-PT:
Curva B-spline - Um tipo de curva spline gerada segmento a segmento, nos quais são definidas uma tangente e um peso para cada uma das extremidades de cada segmento, independentemente do segmento seguinte. Permite uma melhor suavização das curvas.

Obs: O AutoCAD também utiliza B-Spline.

Explanation:
Hertzmann’s work [6] painting is done with a series of
antialiased cubic B-spline brush-strokes aligned to a grid,
with constant color and thickness, with a series of layers,
in a coarse-to-fine way, presenting a framework for
describing a wide range of styles.

B-spline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis a B-spline is a special spline curve. It is a linear combination of B-splines basis curves. B-splines are a generalization of the Bézier curves and can be further generalized to NURBS, allowing the accurate modelling of more general classes of geometry.

The De Boor algorithm is a numerically stable way to evaluate B-splines.

The term B-spline was coined by Isaac Jacob Schoenberg and is short for basis spline.
