    GILDING ON BOLE LASTS SEVERAL DAYS

    The method of gilding on bole consists of applying several layers of a solution of Armenian  clay in rabbit glue, and then gluing flakes of real gold.

    EGG TEMPERA AND PIGMENTS

    Very durable method, known in Antiquity and Middle Ages, in which the binder of the dyes is organic.

    This is a covering painting, difficult to obtain glazes. Tempera dries quickly and gives a matte effect. 

    The artists who created using the egg tempera technique included: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Pietro Perugino.

    VARNISHING

    I protect icons with several layers of heated hard-drying oil. This type of varnish brings out the depth of colour of the pigments used and protects against the adverse effect of weather conditions.

    BRUSHES

    Brushes are very important. In iconography, we use natural brushes for tempera, not synthetic ones. Initially, I used brushes made of sable hair (a mammal from the weasel family).

    Currently, I paint with squirrel brushes and I think they are the best (they allow for the effect of gentle transitions between colours and do not tear off previous layers).
