The effects of cleaning treatments on paintings made with synthetic paints are a major concern for conservators of modern and contemporary art. Synthetic paints typically include a complex mixture of additives that are likely to influence the paint’s response to different treatment methods, and their high sensitivity to most organic solvents narrows the choice of products that can be used. Know...

A method is described for estimating the 3D reflection properties of painting materials such as oil paints and water paints. A gonio-spectral photometer is used for measuring light scattered from a variety of painting surfaces. The reflectance data are acquired at different incident and viewing geometries. The Torrance-Sparrow model is used for describing light reflection on the painting surfac...

This study investigated the hygroscopicity and UV deterioration characteristics of 3 domestic 4 imported woods using natural oil, stain, varnish paints. In terms hygroscopicity, it was found that painted wood lower than unpainted wood, as number coatings increased, decreased. anti-absorption, oil-based chemical paints showed higher resistance water-based paints, oils results comparable to As fo...

In this paper we present an algorithm for a glass-painting filter. The filter inputs any arbitrary 2D image and converts it into its equivalent glass painted form. The initial image is processed through various nonphotorealistic rendering stages. The major steps involved in the process include – edge detection and refinement, conversion of image into painted form, changing the appearance of the...

A single point viscosity measurement has been proven meaningless in determining the rheological and application properties of a paint. Paints having the same “one point“ viscosity can hove different settling, sag, and leveling properties. These rheological differences are graphically depicted by means of viscosity profiles obtained through the use of low and high shear rate viscometers. A metho...
