How to sample colors from an image to create new drawings

mef233

Hello, I am attempting to program Processing 2 to look at an image, sample the image's colors and use those values/data to create new drawings.
Is there a way to do this? I've looked under PImage headings but most of the entries revolve around recreating the image in processing. Any idea of what I should do/ Where I should look?

you can use image.get(x,y) to get a color from a pixel with its x and y coordinates

There's a helpful example at http://code-playground.tumblr.com/post/128917104735/extracting-colorsets-from-pictures-in-processing
