applied as a tranparent layer Explanation: VELATURA E PITTURA AD OLIO La velatura è l'elemento caratterizzante della pittura ad olio, e per definizione si tratta della stesura di un "velo" di colore trasparente, su una campitura di colore data a corpo... ora ti spiego: Innanzitutto lle velature vanno stese su di una prima base di colore ad olio diluita il meno possibile (altrimenti si tratterebbe di una specie di "acquerello ad olio"). (http://data.over-blog kiwi.com/0/26/62/94/201212/ob_d5de91e60e5a1e888a1f9a8e43c5c956_velatura.pdf) OIL PAINT Oil paints consist of pigment compounded with oil, usually linseed oil. The oil acts as a binder, creating as it dries a transparent film in which the pigment is suspended. Canvas was prepared by stretching it over a wooden frame, sizing it with glue to seal the fibers and protect them from the corrosive action of oil paint, and then coating it with a white, oil-base ground. Some painters then applied a thin, transparent layer of color over the ground, most often a warm brown or a cool, pale gray. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-05-09 14:03:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ERRATA CORRIGE: applied as a tranSparent layer Example sentence(s):
