深堀隆介 Riusuke Fukahori's Layer Technique

Watch the artist apply this technique here: http://youtu.be/21bFpgEfDFM

(A slightly higher resolution version of this video - upscaled from 576 to 720 lines - can be seen here: http://youtu.be/9Oxp2JOpN3Q)

This video shows the layer technique used by the artist Riusuke Fukahori 深堀隆介. Transparent liquid resin - mixed with a hardener or catalyst - is poured. When the resin has set into a solid, the surface is painted with acrylic paint. By repeating this process, the artist is able to create three dimensional sculptural pieces.

This demonstration only shows the layers being created. The artist also uses more traditional painting skills to enhance the 3D effect. These include representations of shading and reflection, feathering soft edges, controlling the opacity of the paint to include semi-transparent areas, and using the textures of the paint and brush work to mimic the natural veining and fine structures of the goldfish and flora he represents. The overall effect is "photorealistic", or like a full colour hologram.

The goldfish image used in this example is derived from a two dimensional window painting. The original work can be seen here:

Does he heat the acrylic up. In his video it appears to be less viscous than typical...the heat also might help explain the lack of bubbles, too.

@chiasmusx2

Just to clarify, the paint used by the artist used is acrylic. I do not know what type of resin the artist uses. Possible types include: polystyrene, polyurethane, epoxy, polyester, silicon and acrylic resin. Many of these resins have significant health risk issues when they are being worked with, and so some formulations may only be suitable for use within controlled industrial environments, so please do research first if you are planning to try this yourself.

所以這是一層一層畫上去的?

[Re: So this is the painted layer by layer?]

可以。视频描述链接到YouTube视频，在工作中表现出艺术家­，也到我的Flickr集，显示了他的一些已完成的工程。

[Yes. The video description has links to a YouTube video showing the artist at work, and also to my flickr set showing some of his completed works.]

Thank you for explaing Riusuke Fukahori's amazing techniques - its very similar to 3D printing.

still unbelievable.

oh, ok.... piece of cake!! notttttttttttt! hahhahah

@Phongbienthai

While each layer takes hours to harden, he doesnt really lose time because he is working on many, many pieces at the same time.

Amazing, this must cost a lot of time :-<

Oh ok, that's explained it.. ( the 3D effects)
