A Drawing Wrought Supernaturally: Renaissance Graphic Techniques

Abstract

The article aims to conceptualize the results of research which addresses renaissance graphic art masterpieces and is based on the author's personal experience in mastering authentic historical techniques of drawing and studying the classical european art school. The article describes methods for creating a multilayer drawing by means of various graphic techniques and a wide range of art materials (metal point drawing, inks, soft materials, etc.), paper grounds, textile supports and paper tinting with grounds based on several pigments, including crystalline, as well as toning paper with dry pigments. Optical properties of artist’s own grounds for graphics are discussed. the author characterizes principles of working with color, particularly the use of warm and cold colors, the introduction of three basic colors in the composition of the ground for a graphic work. The article also describes methods of work with texture in the masterpieces of renaissance graphics, the use of incised/indented lines (‘grafia’) and the polishing of a drawing.
