"I got the structure of the painting to operate the ovals.
"I got the structure of the painting to operate — the ovals.
Yet the longer I look, the more the painting's colour becomes fugitive and unfixable, the harder it is not to snag on details, and lose the thread of the structure of the painting and my own place in it.
The optical images were captured in the reflected light which helped in identifying the structure of the paint layers and the colour of certain individual pigment grains.
Thus, the samples investigated using GC MS comprised the full structure of the paint layers at the spot they were taken, including potential residues of organic coatings.
The layer composition and layer structure of the paint sample can be found in Table 1 and in Keune et al. [1].
Due to the structure of the paint film that has a texture similar to an orange peel, the use of a paint roller for both the background colour and design pattern was possible.
A Leica optical microscope (OM) with reflected light was used to examine the order and structure of the paint layers and the micrographs were taken with a Leica DFC 240 megapixel digital camera.
The composition and structure of the painting's canvas support were characterized through visual observation of the weave pattern and thread density, and observation of the textile fibers by optical microscopy (OM).
Microanalysis of paint samples was combined with reflectance imaging spectroscopy (RIS) and synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SR-XRF) mapping to characterize the materials and structure of the paint layers and to understand the artist's palette and use of color in both paintings.
Smith mimics the structure of the frescoes themselves, painted on three levels, each streaming away into the distance (the past?).
