In this video, Factum’s custom flatbed printer prints the colour of Diego Velázquez’ Saint Thomas, in perfect registration over the 3D surface of the painting, created using a specially-prepared acrylic gesso mix. This ‘skin’, which forms the base surface of the final facsimile, will be then fixed to a backing canvas in a process that is similar to re-lining a painting. © Óscar Parasiego for Factum Arte
