We haven't spoken for a while about José Cuní's rediscovery of the ancient lost formula of the paint medium used in ancient art so we thought this might be of interest. As part of his experiments, José did this copy of a Roman wall painting to prove his point. The copy has been executed in fresco and partially polished with a hard instrument. Unlike in the unpolished areas, the brushstrokes and the stylus-incised outline in the polished areas become flush with the surface, losing their relief. In this case, the polishing treatment does not provide shine to any of the colours (green earth, lime white, yellow, ochre, burn sienna, red iron oxide). You can read the whole academic paper about the Cuní's investigative work of Roman Wall Paintings on . And of course you can get this wonderful paint from us.
