Abstract:

A method of painting a photographic image on any surface, including a vertical surface or uneven surface. The method described is comprised of transferring the photographic image to a screen having a particular minimum mesh and then securing the screen to the surface onto which the photographic image is to be painted. The screen being flexible is secured to the surface in intimate contact and following substantially the contour of the surface to be painted. Paint is then sprayed through the photographic image on the screen in a series of applications of very thin layers with the paint allowed to dry between each application. The paint is mixed to such a consistency that it will rapidly dry almost as it is applied. When the painting is finally completed, the screen is removed by carefully peeling it from the surface, leaving the photographic image painted on the surface.
