Abstract
Abstract A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief or mezzo-relievo type utilizing a suitable glue. The subject to be portrayed is detailed on suitable material, and selective applications of transparent or translucent drying glue are made until the desired build up of each portion of the subject is attained. Faster buildup is accomplished in portraits utilizing dots of dried glue placed to create the proper illusion of depth and then glued in place. When the desired relief has been obtained, the desired paint or other media is applied to the art work. Corrections may be made after color is applied to the art work. A suitable knife or spatula is used for smoothing thin coats of glue over facial areas to create continuity of skin textures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type utilizing a glue through which colors are visible when the glue is dry, a base material, paint, and means for applying the paint and including the steps of selectively applying the glue to a representation of the subject to be portrayed on the base material until the desired relief of each portion of the subject is attained, makinG applications of paints to the built up subject, and then making corrections as necessary by additional applications of glue.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
88 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type utilizing a glue through which colors are visible when the glue is dry, a base material, paint, and means for applying the paint and including the steps of selectively applying the glue to a representation of the subject to be portrayed on the base material until the desired relief of each portion of the subject is attained, makinG applications of paints to the built up subject, and then making corrections as necessary by additional applications of glue.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
94 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type including the steps of detailing the subject to be portrayed on suitable material, selectively applying glue through which colors are visible when the glue is dry to the detailed subject to be portrayed until the desired build up of each portion of the subject is attained, gluing dots of dried glue to the subject to be portrayed to create the proper illusion of depth, making applications of paints to the built up subject, and making corrections as necessary by additional applications of glue.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
94 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type including the steps of detailing the subject to be portrayed on suitable material, selectively applying glue through which colors are visible when the glue is dry to the detailed subject to be portrayed until the desired build up of each portion of the subject is attained, gluing dots of dried glue to the subject to be portrayed to create the proper illusion of depth, making applications of paints to the built up subject, and making corrections as necessary by additional applications of glue.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type as described in claim 2 in which a suitable knife or spatula is used for smoothing thin coats of glue over facial areas to create continuity of skin textures and similar surfaces.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
129 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type including the steps of outlining the subject to be portrayed on a suitable base material, applying glue through which colors are visible when the glue is dry in a thin flow along the outline of the subject to be portrayed, allowing the glue to dry, outlining the subject to be portrayed with glue to define areas to be raised, allowing the glue to dry, filling in the outlined areas with glue, selectively building up the filled in areas to give the proper illusion of depth, viewing the subject to be portrayed for proper perspective, applying glue to make necessary corrections, applying paint to the subject to be portrayed, and making corrections by additional applications of glue as necessary.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
129 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type including the steps of outlining the subject to be portrayed on a suitable base material, applying glue through which colors are visible when the glue is dry in a thin flow along the outline of the subject to be portrayed, allowing the glue to dry, outlining the subject to be portrayed with glue to define areas to be raised, allowing the glue to dry, filling in the outlined areas with glue, selectively building up the filled in areas to give the proper illusion of depth, viewing the subject to be portrayed for proper perspective, applying glue to make necessary corrections, applying paint to the subject to be portrayed, and making corrections by additional applications of glue as necessary.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
79 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type as described in claim 4 in which the selective buildup of the filled in areas is accomplished by preparing dots of glue through which colors are visible when the glue is dry, placing the dots on the filled in areas, gluing the dots in place to give the proper illusion of depth, connecting the dots with glue, and building up the areas around the dot formation with glue.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
57 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type as described in claim 5 in which as the dots are connected with glue checks are taken at 15 minute intervals to prevent glue from running out of line and in which run-off spots are restored with run-off glue and specks of additional glue where necessary.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
45 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type as described in claim 6 in which the areas around the dot formation are built up by gently spreading glue in thin layers and allowing each layer to dry before applying the next layer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method of creating painting-sculpture of the bas-relief and mezzo-relievo type as described in claim 7 in which after application of paint and correction glue as necessary corrections are further made by additional applications of paint and glue as necessary.
