Not all paintings are made with the same materials or according to the same methods: we use watercolour, charcoal, chalk pastels, sanguine (red chalk), ink and pencil on paper and thin cardboard, oil, tempera, idroil on canvas, canvas panel and prepared cardboard. We prefer to use more ecological materials such as Watercolour, idroil and tempera painting. Watercolour is a popular technique become famous for its magical light effects, transparency, emotion and marvellous painterly qualities. This technique spread through England during the 18th century by landscape painters, so that it was considered as a distinctly English “national art”. Varnished tempera painting is a painting method similar to egg tempera. Well known from antiquity, tempera was the exclusive medium in the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, and in Italy it was not supplanted by oil until c.1500. Idroil oil colours are authentic oil paints. Using Idroil you can get the same effect that you may obtain with oil paint (the only difference is that the solvent for idroil is water instead of turpentine). Q. Which materials do you use? A. We used good quality materials: watercolour, charcoal, chalk pastels, sanguine (red chalk), ink and pencil on paper and thin cardboard, oil, tempera, idroil on canvas and cardboard. Q.
