Download or read book The Art of Painting in Oil and in Fresco written by M. J. F. L. Mérimée and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Painting in Oil and in Fresco: Being a History of the Various Processes and Materials Employed The precepts which the author has collected, extended, and developed, with the judicious advice he has offered, are not so much intended to teach this art, as to lay before the artist, the proper mate rials for painting, and how to make pictures durable. A principal object has been to collect and carefully describe the numerous processes used in oil paint ing, from its earliest appearance to our own time. The result of this investigation shows that the older masters of the Venetian and Flemish schools, did not paint as modems do, with pure Oils, but that they tempered their colours with varnishes; to which must be attributed the state of preservation in which we find their pictures. M. Merimee describes the modes Of preparing the different varnishes that are proper to mix with the colours, and also those which are to be used over the picture when finished. He also communi cates the most exact ideas upon the colouring sub stances, their preparation, solidity or durableness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Painting Oil painting began in the fifteenth century. We are not here going to enter into that great discussion, which is not yet finished, as to whether Oil painting was really discovered by Van Eyck, but perhaps we may venture to say that its discovery was really caused by a mistake. In the first place, neither John Van Eyck nor his brother ever acquainted anybody with their processes, and their secrets died with them and if report is to be credited, they were even so jealous that they stabbed one prying individual who ventured into their studio. In vain distinguished artists, attracted by the fame Of the two brothers, came from Italy to Bruges they could learn nothing, except that the belief spread that Van Eyck owed the exceeding brilliancy Of his colours to the use Of Oil.

Download or read book The Painter s Methods and Materials written by A. P. Laurie and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the valuable techniques and materials formerly used in painting have been lost or forgotten. With the convenience of the art supply store, the artist is no longer forced to acquaint himself with many of the operations performed by the great craftsmen-painters of the past. The result is that the modern painter often does not understand the chemical and physical reasons for the steps he follows. This book bridges the gap between artist and craftsman, and gives the reader insights into the classical techniques of the great masters as well as the procedures followed today. Professor Laurie has based his book on an intensive study of great master paintings and manuscripts as well as on actual experiment. He covers techniques for painting on wood panels, paper, walls, and canvas, and for dealing with watercolors, tempera, fresco, pigments and colors, balsams, resins, turpentines, varnishes, waxes, sizings, and various oils such as walnuts, linseed, and poppy. The reader will also find much information on the behavior of light through various refractions, prism effect in layers of paint, and the cleaning and preservation of pictures. The discussion is illustrated by 48 full-page plates. These reproductions of actual paintings by major and minor masters — Rembrandt, Lippi, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Rubens, Hals, and others — were selected to show specific points of painting condition or technical procedures. Microphotographs are used to show cross-sections of painting, age cracks, flaking, pigment particles, and similar material.

Download or read book Painting Materials written by R. J. Gettens and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined training and experience of the authors of this classic in the varied activities of painting conservation, cultural research, chemistry, physics, and paint technology ideally suited them to the task they attempted. Their book, written when they were both affiliated with the Department of Conservation at Harvard's Fogg Art Museum, is not a handbook of instruction. It is, instead, an encyclopedic collection of specialized data on every aspect of painting and painting research. The book is divided into five sections: Mediums, Adhesives, and Film Substances (amber, beeswax, casein, cellulose, nitrate, dragon's blood, egg tempera, paraffin, lacquer, gum Arabic, Strasbourg turpentine, water glass, etc.); Pigments and Inert Materials (over 100 entries from alizarin to zinnober green); Solvents, Diluents, and Detergents (acetone, ammonia, carbon tetrachloride, soap, water, etc.); Supports (academy board, dozens of different woods, esparto grass, gesso, glass, leather, plaster, silk, vellum, etc.); and Tools and Equipment. Coverage within each section is exhaustive. Thirteen pages are devoted to items related to linseed oil; eleven to the history and physical and chemical properties of pigments; two to artificial ultramarine blue; eleven to wood; and so on with hundreds of entries. Much of the information — physical behavior, earliest known use, chemical composition, history of synthesis, refractive index, etc. — is difficult to find elsewhere. The rest was drawn from such a wide range of fields and from such a long span of time that the book was immediately hailed as the best organized, most accessible work of its kind. That reputation hasn't changed. The author's new preface lists some recent discoveries regarding pigments and other materials and the pigment composition chart has been revised, but the text remains essentially unchanged. It is still invaluable not only for museum curators and conservators for whom it was designed, but for painters themselves and for teachers and students as well.
