Abstract:
A method of hand painting ceramic objects as disclosed, which allows user selection of an object to be painted and a design to be applied. A composite three dimensional image is formed of the design, as applied to an image of the selected object. The image is selectively colored as desired by the user. A two dimensional projection of the selected image is formed, the projection corresponding to the selected image, as modified to conform to the contours of the selected object. The projection is segmented by commonly colored image portions and stencils are formed, corresponding to the segments. The stencils may be sequentially applied to an article, represented by the selected object, in order to facilitate hand painting of the selected design upon the article.
