Canvas Painting reproduction?

[redmonsoon]

I see that those poster prints in IKEA comes with oil paint dabs; blobs of paint, that is typical of oil painting. Except that the thickness,etc in every piece is exactly the same.

Lets say I shoot a photo of an oil painting, is there anyway/anyone who can reproduce such an effect on another piece of canvas?

How is it even done?Thanks.
Any ideas?

if you've see a oil painting, or a acrylic painting before, you will know there is no way that a photograph printed on a canvas can give the same texture of what the oil or acrylic paint can give.

however, it may able to fool somebody viewing it from a distance.

I understand. Just wondering if there's some special process.

Those in IKEA really do have raised surfaces much like oil paintings, but they're are all exactly the same 'thickness & height', which means not painted.

Wonder whats the process..But I reckon thats beyond the scope of this forum then. Thks

ah... it's a process called 'artagraph'
it replicates the brush strokes of the original painting via silicon gels and a mould.
but it's totally not economical for small quantity printing.

Ah YES! Thks Clown, thats what I'm talking abt.

Ah YES! Thks Clown, thats what I'm talking abt.

Complicated and expensive no doubt but exciting..

For those curious.
Artagraphy is considered the state of the art in fine art reproduction. The following three-step artagraphic process recreates the color and three-dimensional surface texture of an original oil painting:

1) First, the exact colors of the original are scanned by a digital laser with an advanced optical system. Each color is printed one at a time using oil-based inks in overlapping layers onto a unique oil-based sheet.

2) Next, a mold is made from the original painting to recreate the surface texture and brushstrokes in bas-relief. A patented silicon gel substance is poured onto the bas-relief and 72 hours later the mold is removed to create the negative mold.

3) Finally, all the elements Ñ the negative mold, the printed oil-based substrate, and a unique laminated canvas material Ñ are placed into an oven press and heated to 600-700 degrees under 35-65 tons of pressure. This causes the oil substrate to liquefy with the laminated canvas and fill the cracks and crevices on the mold. The artagraph is immediately shock frozen with liquid nitrogen leaving a permanent surface texture.

hey...other than the complicated process described above, the simpler technique is to scan an art piece using a large flat bed scanner and reprint on canvas. while the 3d surfacing cannot be replicated, the image captured by the high res scanner can reproduce the texturing somewhat when printed. I have seen an actual piece of oil painting reproduced and the results are good.

The scanning eqpt is used by museums to reproduce pieces of art. You can sms this guy if you are keen to find out 8200-6811

seriously we do not encourage these kind of ninja marketing. if you want business without infriging forum T&C, just PM him.

You can actually get some resin and paint over your print.... like this

The other method is to print on pre-textured canvas. but the texture is generic and it's costly if quantity low... If I'm not wrong, the ones in IKEA is done this way.

yea i used to play with the resin method till it got too time consuming and messy for real production work..
straits arts supplies at bugis still sells the supplies i think.

No, it can't be. Its totally different.
And do you doubt Ikea's worldwide order quantities?hee.

Better close this thread before someone suggest I use photoshop canvas filter..lol:bsmilie:
