Abstract:
1. A method for producing a simulated oil painting having brush strokes on a substrate, said method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a substrate, (b) applying ink to the substrate in a plurality of colors, each of the plurality of colors being applied to the substrate having a brush stroke pattern, (c) subsequent to the completion of step (b), separately applying a liquid to the substrate overlying the ink in the same brush stroke pattern as at least one of the plurality of colors applied in step (b) including registering the pattern of the liquid to be in alignment with one of the predetermined brush stroke patterns of a color applied in step (b), (d) dusting a thermographic powder onto the liquid applied in step (c) prior to the liquid becoming dry, (e) heating the liquid containing the thermographic powder to cause the liquid to dry and physically raise from the substrate to produce a raised, three dimensional effect in the configuration of the brush stroke pattern applied in step (c).
