technique   known  as    silver  point.The  lines  are  permanent   and  can  not  be  erased.In  time  silver  lines oxidize   and  turn  brown
TEMPERA-  THE   TERM  TEMPERA   is  applied  to  any  paint  in  which    pigment  is   tempered  (mixed)  with a  water  based  binding  medium  -  usually    egg  yolk.Egg tempera   is  applied  to  a  smooth  surface   such  as   vellum(for  illuminated    manuscripts )   or   more   commonly   to  hardwood  panels   prepared  with  gesso   ,a  mixture  of  chalk  and   size  (glue). Hog  hair  brush  are    used   to  apply   the  gesso .A  layer  of  gesso     is  followed  by  successive  layers   of  gesso    sotile(fine   gessso)   that   are   sanded  between  coats  to  provide   a  smooth ,  yet  absorbent  ground.The  paint  is  applied    with  fine  sable  brushes   in  thin  layers,  using  light  brush  strokes .Tempera  dries  quickly  to  form  a  tough  skin  with  a satin  sheen.The  luminous   white  surface   of  the  gesso   combined  with   the  over laid  paint  produced  the  brilliant  crispness and  rich  colors  particularly  to  this  medium .Egg   tempera   paintings   are    frequently  gilded    with  gold .Leaves   of  finely    beaten   gold  are  applied  to a bole (reddish  brown  clay) base    and  polished   by   burnishing .
FRESCO-  FRESCO  IS  A  METHOD   OF  WALL  PAINTING.In  buon    fresco (true   fresco)  pigments  are  mixed   with  water   and  applied  to    an  intonaco  (layer of  fresh  ,  dump   lime  plaster)The   intonaco    absorbs   and  binds   the  pigments   as  it  dries   making  the  picture  a  permanent  part  of  the  wall  surface.The  intonaco     is  applied  in  sections   called  giornate (daily  section). The   size  of  each   giornata    depend  on  the  artist's  estimate of   how  much  can  be  painted   before  the plaster  sets.The  junctions   between    giornata  sometimes   visible  on  a  finished  fresco .The  range  of  colors   used  in  buon  fresco    are  limited   to  lime -resistant  pigments  such  as  earth  colors  .Stacked   lime (burnt  lime mixed  with  water) bianco    di  san  Giovanni  (staked  lime  that has  been  partly  exposed  to  air.) and  chalk   can  be  used   to  produced   fresco   whites.In   fresco   sec-co(dry  fresco ) pigments  are   mixed  with  a  binding  medium  and  applied  to  dry  plaster. and  may  flake  off  over  the  time.
