In my last post I described the DRAW model of recurrent auto-encoders. As far as I've seen, the only implementations of DRAW floating around Github deal with the MNIST dataset. While they are helpful for reference, I wanted to have a model that could successfully generate photographs, not just black-and-white digits.

In this post, I'll go over the steps and thinking behind taking a working implementation of DRAW, and adjusting it to work on colored pictures.
