Adding and Subtracting Color in the Painting and Serigraphic Processes: A Development of Consistency in Two Art Media

Description: This is a method in which designs as a whole are not pre-planned or pre-arranged, but are developed by applying layers of color. This is an additive method for obvious reasons, and it is subtractive because shapes can be covered with opaque paint or very intense stain. Transparent layers of color applied over existing colors cause hue changes, and the process creates subtleties resulting from one color showing through another.

A Creative Investigation of Sprays in Drying Oil Paint

Description: The reason for this paper is to present a study of several commercial clear sprays used to affect drying of artists' oil paint. A number of tests were conducted in order to discover which spray might achieve optimum drying without inhibiting creative efforts. After the initial experiments, or "test panels," the information derived was used to complete the remaining panels required for the creative project.

Interspersed Color Blend Lithography

Description: Interspersed color blend lithography is a technique that facilitates simultaneous multi-colored printing. The problem of color blending was to gain control over the process and explore a variety of uses. The research was entirely experimental. Interspersed color blend lithography is a unique process that allows for the application of any number of colors at one time, and complete freedom in their placement. The results of the investigation produced a process that is at once predictable, simple … more
