resin painting

Examples of resin painting in the following topics:

• Ceramics in Early South America

  • The associated ceramics include incised polychrome (whereby the surface has been incised with a sharp tool and painted multiple colors), "negative" resist decoration (pottery is covered in material then painted and uncovered to reveal a pattern of negative and positive space), and other techniques of the Paracas tradition.
  • The Nazca culture is characterized by its beautiful polychrome pottery, painted with at least fifteen distinct colors.
  • The shift from post-fire resin painting to pre-fire slip painting marked the end of Paracas-style pottery and the beginning of Nazca-style pottery.
  • Traditional North Coast Peruvian ceramic art uses a limited palette, relying primarily on red and white, fine line painting, fully modeled clay, naturalistic figures, and stirrup spouts (in which the stirrup handle forms part of the spout, which emanates from the top of the stirrup).

• Jackson Pollock and Action Painting

  • Action painting, created by Jackson Pollock, is a style in which paint is spontaneously splattered, smeared or dripped onto the canvas.
  • Action painting is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied with a brush.
  • My painting does not come from the easel.
  • After his move to Springs, he began painting with his canvases laid out on the studio floor, turning to synthetic resin-based paints called alkyd enamels, which were much more fluid than traditional paint and, at that time, were a novel medium.
  • He painted his two last works in 1955.

• Painting of the Early Dynastic Period

  • All Egyptian reliefs were painted, and less prestigious works in tombs, temples and palaces were just painted on a flat surface.
  • The binding medium used in painting remains unclear: egg tempera and various gums and resins have been suggested.
  • After painting, a varnish or resin was usually applied as a protective coating , and many paintings with some exposure to the elements have survived remarkably well, although those on fully exposed walls rarely have.
  • Some tomb paintings show activities that the deceased were involved in when they were alive and wished to carry on doing for eternity.Egyptian paintings are painted in such a way to show a profile view and a side view of the animal or person - a technique known as composite view .
  • Egyptian paintings are painted in such a way to show a profile view and a side view of the animal or person.

• Oil Painting

  • Oil painting did not gain popularity in Europe until the fifteenth century.
  • Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments bound with a medium of drying oil.
  • An oil like linseed would be boiled with a resin (pine resin or frankincense), resulting in "varnishes" prized for their body and gloss.
  • Surfaces like shields — both those used in tournaments and those hung as decorations — were more durable when painted in oil-based media than when painted in the traditional tempera paints.
  • One of the most famous Venetian oil paintings is The Tempest (La Tempesta), painted in 1508 by Giorgione and commissioned by Venetian noble Gabriele Vendramin .

• Ancient Egyptian Art

  • Ancient Egyptian art included painting, sculpture, pottery, glass work, and architecture.
  • Before painting a stone surface, it was whitewashed and sometimes covered with mud plaster.
  • The binding medium is unknown; the paint was applied to dried plaster in the "fresco a secco" style.
  • A varnish or resin was then applied as a protective coating, which, along with the dry climate of Egypt, protected the painting very well.
  • In this wall painting of Nefertari, the side view is apparent.

• Liquid Media

  • In Western terminology, drawing is distinct from painting, even though similar media often are employed in both tasks.
  • Dry media, normally associated with drawing such as chalk, may be used in pastel paintings.
  • Similar supports likewise can serve both mediums: painting generally involves the application of liquid paint onto prepared canvas or panels, but sometimes an underdrawing is drawn first on that same support.
  • The best inks for drawing or painting on paper or silk are produced from the resin of the pine tree.

• Encaustic

  • Encaustic painting involves painting with a mixture of heated beeswax to which colored pigments have been added.
  • Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves painting with a mixture of heated beeswax to which colored pigments have been added.
  • Because the wax cools quite quickly it is important to paint swiftly.
  • The simplest encaustic mixture can be made from adding pigments to beeswax, but there are numerous recipes that can be used, such as other types of waxes, damar resin, or linseed oil.
  • Encaustic painting is thought to have been around since as early as the 4th century BC.

• Aquatint

  • This can be done by applying a powdered resin directly to the plate, or first dissolving the resin in spirits and brushing it onto the plate.
  • If the plate is covered with the powdered resin, it melts and creates a fine, even coat.
  • Finally, David Hockney, known for his many paintings of the Los Angeles lifestyle in the 1960s, created a number of both aquatints and etchings for his "The Blue Guitar" series (1976), notable for their use of color.

• Thermosetting vs. Thermoplastic Polymers

  • A natural resinous polymer called lignin has a cross-linked structure similar to bakelite.

• Ancient Egyptian Trade

  • By the Fifth Dynasty, trade with Punt gave Egyptians gold, aromatic resins, ebony, ivory, and wild animals.
