The Illumination Process for Infusion Art Show

Step 1

The Supports - Vellum 4" x6" & Wooden Panel

Step 2

Image Drawn and Inked on Vellum &

Wooden Board gessoed with sand and broken shells from Edisto Beach

Step 3

The Gilding

Now gilding can be finalized, i.e.,

unwanted gilding must be scraped off with a knife and parts must be re-inked.

Painting the vellum with natural pigment and egg yolk completes the Illumination process

and the vellum is then distressed or aged.

Only then is the vellum adhered to the roughly textured board.

After the adhesive is completely dry, the illumination is integrated into the larger piece by painting.
