Description
April 1963 J. R. DEMLER 3,0845'455 ART PAPER Filed Nov. 14, 1960 IN VEN TOR. JACOB R. DEMLEP United States Patent 3,084,455 ART paras Jacob R. Demler, Luther Road, East Aurora, NY. Filed Nov. 14, 19st), Ser. No. 68,784 1 Claim. (Cl. -26) This invention relates to graphic art material and more particularly to a new type of art board designed to aid relatively unskilled persons in rendering pictures of high quality.
A considerable number of Ways and means have been devised to aid or instruct relatively unskilled persons in drawing and/or painting pictures of improved quality more easily and quickly. One recently popular example of this is the paint-by-number *it which supplies a picture in outline with specific areas thereof delineated and numbered to indicate that the correspondingly numbered color of paint furnished with the kit should be applied to each such area. While this approach has been quite successful commercially, it has undesirable artistic and instructional limitations. For example, the application of different colors to adjacent areas of the picture gives abrupt changes of color, and subtleties of coloration of any object as viewed by the eye are necessarily lost. Secondly, a person using these kits actually has little chance of improving either his color sense or his color mixing ability which are a very important part of the development of painting ability.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved art aid which will give the inexperienced artist the most assistance possible in rendering pictures of professional appearance, but which will at the same time encourage and train him in perceiving the subtleties of composition, line and color, and in developing his ability to mix and apply any desired color.
Another object of the invention is to provide an art aid as aforesaid which is useful with almost any of the popular media such as oil paints, pastels, casein, etc.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an art aid as aforesaid which is relatively inexpensive and may be furnished with a complete kit of the necessary painting equipment, or which may furnished by itself to ersons already possessing the necessary painting supplies.
Other objects and advantages will appear from the detailed description hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a face view of an art aid of the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken substantially along line IIII of FIG. 1 on greatly enlarged scale showing the construction of one example of art aid of the invention.
Broadly stated, my invention comprises the provision of a painting or drawing surface of the highest quality directly over a selected art pattern such as a reproduction of a finished painting, photograph, lithograph or the like. I have found that certain materials used to finish an art paper or board (canvas) may be applied to give excellent tooth for reception of oil paints, pastels, crayons, casein paints, or the like; and at the same time to be highly transparent. This makes it possible to provide a highly visible art pattern which has an excellent paint reception surface superimposed thereupon, and which will take nearly any of the popular painting or drawing media in such manner that the original illustration is completaly hidden by the rendering thereover.
Referring now to the drawing herewith, wherein one specific example of the invention is illustrated, a base comprising a sheet of stiff conventional cardboard 10 is laminated with a lithographic reproduction 12 of any desired painting, photograph or the like. A layer of a suitable clear adhesive E4 is then applied over the lithograph as by a roller or brushing or other suitable means. When the adhesive partially dries to a proper degree of tackiness its surface is dusted over or otherwise supplied with a suitable tooth giving particulate material such as a fine abrasive flint as indicated at 16. Obviously any other suitable form of grits may be employed such as any natural or synthetic particulate material, such as for example aluminum oxide. There are a number of suitable adhesives available, one eminently suitable example of which is known in the trade as hide glue. In lieu thereof a suitable synthetic plastic type adhesive may be employed. The resulting surface provides an excellent surface for the artists use; rivalling in paint reception characteristics the best quality artists canvasses and the like. Also, it will be noted that the present invention is adapted to be made in large volume on conventional machinery, such as is used for example in the manufacture of sandpaper or the like; and this of course provides the benefits and economies of immediate mass production.
It will be understood of course that the painting surface as described hereinabove may be applied directly to a high quality paper having a reproduction printed directly thereon. Thus, the adhesive 14 and the rough particulates 16 may be applied thereto as described hereinabove. This form of art paper is sometimes preferred because of its convenience in packaging and handling.
By means of the invention the user of the product is provided with a pattern picture for copying which may be complete in every detail, and which is adapted to be painted directly thereover to provide a completely new and permanent self-executed rendering. By this means the user is encouraged to develop his perception of color,.
and learns the skills necessary for mixing specific tones of every gradation while working rom a pattern which is ideally positioned to guide the user.
In lieu of the above, a substantially transparent sheet of synthetic plastic material or the like, suitably roughened at its outer surface as by sand blasting, calendering or the like, may be superimposed on the illustration pattern; and thus it will be appreciated that the materials used and method of producing the product of my invention may be other than those specified hereinabove without departing from the spirit of my invention or the scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
An article comprising the combination of a base having a visible pattern thereon and means superimposed upon said pattern to provide a drawing and painting media receptive surface characterized by its abrasive tooth without substantial distortion or obfuscation of said pattern; said means comprising a dispersion of tooth-providing material distributed over the pattern area of said base, and transparent bonding material afiixing the tooth providing material to said base; said particles being of random jagged shape and imbedded in said bonding material to leave exposed portions of the particles standing outwardly therefrom to provide the toothed paint receptive surface.
