Is anyone working on a system that makes a 3D color scan of an oil painting, and then recreates it, layer by layer in a 3D oil paint printer? If not, support my kickstarterâŚ
First thing I though was âlens on the left is definitely sharper, but the softer rendering of the one in the right is not unflattering for portraitsâ.
I might be reading too many gear reviews lately.
Iâm fascinated by the con artists that can reproduce period artifacts with incredible accuracy.
Mark Hoffman notoriously manufactured his own iron-based ink for forging 19th century documents.

I think weâre at the point where, frankly, most forgeries get caught when seriously inspected â and itâs because of chemical and other measurable aberrations that only become more easily detected as time goes by. the 3d-printed clone would LOOK perfect and trick visual inspectors, but itâs the sort of thing that fails all other proverbial (and likely literal!) sniff tests.
The one on the right is a paintover I did in photoshop.
Traditional forgery is often accomplished by a similar technique: you project a photo of the painting onto canvas. Itâs good for the basics, at least. Photoshop gives you perfect color, too! CON: you canât sell a PSD to the Russians.
Not bad! I actually though it was a detail from a bona fide fake painting (now thereâs a contradiction) someone tried to sell as real. Not necessarily the masterpiece-grade one from the article.
Not for that kind of money, anyway. Maybe at Fiverr/Mechanical Turk prices.
Itâs weird, but establishment âhigh schoolâ (6th form) art education in the UK, at least until the 1990s, was âcopy this master paintingâ over and over for 2 years. So at 30 I was like, âwait, what, Iâm a competent art forger? this is ⌠coolâ
see they did try to give you job skills
