DABISM: Revolutionary!
Dabistic Technique
The remarkable DABISTIC™ technique allows for a painting to have three characteristics:
Three Dimensional
Viewed closely, the relief is prominent

The DABISTIC™ technique involves a labor-intensive process of building up multiple layers of paint to create a woven framework, by layering colors in relief in a cross-hatch method. The framework application, generally using just the primary and secondary colors, properly shapes the subject matter, in a sense sculpting with paint. The significance of the DABISTIC™ technique is that the structured mesh, which varies contingent upon the desired relief, allows the blending of refracted light to alter as the viewer's point of observation changes through the viewer's movement.
Altering Effect of Refracted Light
Achieved by and through one's movementThe main purpose of the DABISTIC™ technique is to provide an altering effect of refracted light. This altering effect of refracted light occurs provided a true light exists. The entering light penetrates into the depth of the mesh; this natural movement of light catapults reflections into a blending process that inextricably intertwines the blended colors to a state of brilliance.
Realism & Impressionism
One seated in a room at a distance would view the painting as a realistic painting; however, as the viewer draws nearer to the painting, the relief becomes noticeable, transforming a realistic rendering into an impressionistic one.
Similarities With Other Techniques
The DABISTIC™ technique carries pointillism to a heightened degree. In pointillism, the collision of light-waves from existing color refractions blends a color at a point in distance from the canvas. This merger allows for two adjacent colors on the surface to blend into a color that exists only in space. In other words, yellow placed beside blue on the canvas turns green in the viewer's eyes at a point in space off the canvas. Due to similarities between dabism and pointillisim, the final color on the dabistic mesh, receives a layer of the true colors of the subject matter in a pointillistic technique - creating realism.
