Decalcomania is a painting technique, used by many abstract painters such as Max Ernst and Remedios Varo, which is used to create striated textures of unique aesthetic appeal. A decalcomania consists of separating two flexible sheets, between which fluid paint had been placed. As the flexible sheets are detached and the paint retracts from its original edge, finger-like striae are formed. This image show an example of the texture that can be created with this technique. Please see talk H9.00005 of DFD-APS-2016 for more details.
