==Decalcomania==
{{Main|Decalcomania}}
Decalcomania is a process of spreading thick paint upon a canvas then&mdash;while it is still wet&mdash;covering it with further material such as paper or aluminium foil. This covering is then removed (again before the paint dries), and the resultant paint pattern becomes the basis of the finished painting. The technique was much employed by artists such as [[Max Ernst]].
