In this paper a dynamic image representation is proposed by combining advantages of both raster and vector graphics in the triangulation. In order for a dynamic mesh to remain a triangulation, a method which maintains integrity of representation is devised. Together with techniques for synthesizing paint, the end result is a configurable scheme demonstrating potential as a viable alternative fo...

Landscapes have been the main theme in Chinese painting for over one thousand years. Chinese ink painting is a form of nonphotorealistic rendering. Terrain is the major subject in Chinese landscape painting, and surface wrinkles are important in conveying the orientation of mountains and contributing to the atmosphere. Over the centuries, masters of Chinese landscape painting have developed var...

Emotional responses to art have long been subject of debate, but only recently have they started to be investigated in affective science. The aim of this study was to compare perceptions regarding frequency of aesthetic emotions, contributing factors, and motivation which characterize the experiences of looking at painting and listening to music. Parallel surveys were filled in online by partic...

This paper presents a fast and viable method of painting image retrieval. The painting is first isolated using edge detection and region counting. We use perspective transform and eigenimage analysis to select the desired image.

This study intends to exam Clive Bell’s theory of significant form. For Bell, a painting could not be a work of art if line and color were used to recount anecdotes, express ideas, and indicate the lifestyle of an age. In his influential book Art, Bell claimed that William Powell Frith’s famous narrative painting The Railway Station was not a work of art. This paper used Frith’s painting as the...

the most challenging part of the commission, painting the head and face, was the most trying day for me because I was unable to move my head without upsetting the pose. The artist often consulted the photographs and to my surprise used a tape measure to determine the relationships between various parts of my face. The technique of facial measurement derives from Holbein, the sixteenth century D...

We present a novel approach that allows users to intuitively and interactively manipulate High Dynamic Range (HDR) images using commonly available Low Dynamic Range (LDR) displays. This solves the problem of how to draw with contrasts that are much larger than the monitor can display. Whereas commercial HDR-enabled drawing programs manipulate tone mapped representations of HDR images, we provid...
