METHOD OF CREATING BAS-RELIEF AND MEZZO-RELIEVO ART WORKS

摘要

A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief or mezzo-relievo type utilizing a suitable glue. The subject to be portrayed is detailed on suitable material, and selective applications of transparent or translucent drying glue are made until the desired build up of each portion of the subject is attained. Faster buildup is accomplished in portraits utilizing dots of dried glue placed to create the proper illusion of depth and then glued in place. When the desired relief has been obtained, the desired paint or other media is applied to the art work. Corrections may be made after color is applied to the art work. A suitable knife or spatula is used for smoothing thin coats of glue over facial areas to create continuity of skin textures.
