I began painting my panel painting and I got to mix my own pigments with binders to use. We are doing it the ancient way to have a deep understanding of what we will be working on and the process. We also have the opportunity to make our own palettes to bring home with handmade varnishes. I was so excited about that because we will be mixing our own and not getting them out of the tube. This is a photo of the egg tempura I mixed up for my panel painting...
I did the beginning layer of a fresco, not the one I will eventually paint but a practice version to understand the process. We seem to go all the way back and work forward in materials, technique and style for each type of “hands on” we are going to do.
The pot reconstruction was in preparation for the 6th century BC vessel fragments we got to touch this week. I know…they just let us get right in and touch this stuff only weeks in.
The amount of typing and paperwork is insane and I’m not really sure how I’m going to keep up with the blogging. I’m going to give it a post bacc college try…
