Painting by numbers: The development of texture in digitally printed artworks

Parraman, Carinna; O'Dowd, Paul; Harding, Mikaela

Abstract

This paper considers alternative approaches to image making and printing that moves from the on-screen representation of images and painting applications, to the physical generation and methods for surface deposition or 2.5D printing. The research investigates the application of new materials and print processes, as an alternative to four-colour separation and halftoning, which departs from traditional halftone screening that uses a vector approach to image construction and printing. It describes the application of pigments that emulates a painting method to create an extruded or textured surface, but where the relationship of surface deposition and image are integral.
