The arrival of the digital information age has realized the transformation of people’s production and lifestyle, which has also promoted the vigorous development of the art field. At present, the application of informatization in oil painting techniques is increasing. The purpose of this paper is to realize the research on the visual planarization of oil painting techniques in the digital information environment to promote the ecological development of the computer and art field. By using the advanced methods and technologies of its information display, this paper proposed the use of image processing algorithms in the digital information age to guide the integration of digital information technology and oil painting techniques. This helped to analyze and solve objective problems such as the profound meaning of the objective existence in the art field and the inability to understand the emotion in it. It can be seen from the analysis of the oil painting color model that, in the RGB model, when the wavelength is within a certain range, it can be used. But when the wavelength is between 444 nanometers and 526 nanometers, the red intensity is too low. That is to say, it can not effectively express its corresponding color in this wavelength range. This model is very challenging. In the XYZ color model, when the wavelength is in a certain region, the output of red light becomes a value less than 0. Any color in this space can be well represented by a linear combination of X, Y, and Z. Therefore, the study of visual flattening of oil painting is very important in the field of art.

“…Artists might thus use descriptive research techniques to add meaning to their practical processes. This is the rationale behind using it as a research methodology in this study [8]. 3) The experimental method was used to examine the characteristics of a few chosen materials to determine their applicability and effectiveness for producing plaques.…”

The Commemorative Plaque Industry thrives at the hands of the local craftsmen in Ghana. Techniques, methods, tools, and materials used as handed to them by their previous masters have remained the same over the years. As a result, plaques produced had peculiar problems such as text fading, degrading the actual effect of the plaques. Additionally, metals once widely used for making plaques devoid of text fading in the industry seem to have lost their relevance due to metal plaque theft, rust on metal plaques, and the continuous rise in metal prices. This research uses descriptive, experimental, and case studies of the qualitative research method to examine the problems associated with locally produced commemorative plaques. A total of hundred (100) artisans, including metal scrap dealers, and plaque buyers, were selected for the study. Direct observation and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the local craftsmen, art lecturers and students, scrap dealers, and plaque buyers who were purposively sampled for the study. The study revealed that existing materials like ceramic and aluminium could be integrated innovatively to produce commemorative plaques devoid of text fading; a corrosion-resistant text could be made using anodized or coated metals used in smaller quantities to reduce costs while also making them unattractive for theft and lastly, silicone sealant was found to be a viable option for permanently inscribing text on porcelain bases. The results clarify and underline the necessity to grow the local plaque industry in terms of plaque production as another essential basis to assure high-quality plaques with no text fading that will survive for generations to serve their intended purpose.

“…DBR principles guide, inform and improve both practice and research in art educational contexts. It is relevant in situations where theory building and development of design principles become paramount in the application of computer technological tools for teaching and imparting digital painting skills to fine art students in higher education (Annum & Poku, 2021). This underpins the essence for its adoption in developing this skill for the benefit of digital painters.…”

Impasto is one of the fascinating techniques in studio painting that traces its foundation to the period between the 17 th and 19 th century Italian painters like van Gogh. It is characterised by thick application of paint in a plastering mode to artistically model forms on a canvas using either a bristle brush or a palette knife. When effectively executed, the technique finishes with the effect of ridges that cast shadows under grooves created by the thick application to give the painting its unique tactile contrasting appearance. In digital painting, the painterly effect of impasto is simply impossible to execute. Most of the well-known graphic application software cannot offer any applicator that can render the characteristic effect excellently. The author of this paper has developed a practical scheme for achieving this result using the Craquelure Filter in Adobe Photoshop version 21. The principal objective of the author is to employ the descriptive and demonstrational research methods to illustrate this artefactual scheme, which constitutes a practice-led exercise under the design-based research scheme. In this scheme, the author engages two of the major digital painting techniques: "Digital photo-art" and "Traditional digital painting" techniques to execute a figure painting composition in impasto style.
