Very distinctive is the use of fairly large descending strings of dots (White or Vermillion), which are often interpreted as being a stylized Lily-of-the-Valley, but could also relate to the designs by Jacques Hurtu, which incorporated descending strings of pearls (in 1614). The French call the pearl patterns cosse-de-pois (pea-pod patterns). This idea was very popular in the early 1600’s. The flowers are stylized and varied in form. Shadows and highlights are represented mainly through hatching designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower patterns spread out over the background, often black, like a carpet or tapestry. Love symbols, paired birds, hearts, entwined hands, or couples, are an indication that most of the pieces were intended as love gifts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere I present my interpretation of French bridal painting style, using more jewel-like colors and beautiful (tipping and side loading) strokework techniques. For more inspiration on this style, look at old French or Italian tapestries and manuscript painting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVideo is 208 minutes in length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplete Supply List:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMediums:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRetarder Medium\u003cbr\u003eKleister Medium (A gel medium may be used in place of Kleister Medium)\u003cbr\u003eTannin Block sealer (laying gold leaf)\u003cbr\u003eCherry, Mahogany or Red Wood Stain Glaze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaints:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eJo Sonja's Artist Colors\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiox Purple (V)\u003cbr\u003eBrilliant Violet (V. + white)\u003cbr\u003eRed Violet (RV)\u003cbr\u003eAmethyst (RV + white)\u003cbr\u003ePurple Madder\u003cbr\u003e(Transparent toned RV)\u003cbr\u003eNapthol Crimson (R)\u003cbr\u003eVermilion (O)\u003cbr\u003eJaune Brilliant (O tint) or O + W\u003cbr\u003eGold Oxide (toned O)\u003cbr\u003eYellow Oxide (toned y)\u003cbr\u003eYellow Deep (y)\u003cbr\u003eNaples Yellow Hue\u003cbr\u003e(white + touch y)\u003cbr\u003eGreen Light (yg)\u003cbr\u003eBrilliant Green (g)\u003cbr\u003eOlive Green (toned g)\u003cbr\u003eTeal Green (Bg)\u003cbr\u003eCeladon (Bg tint)\u003cbr\u003eUltramarine Blue (B)\u003cbr\u003eSapphire or Pacific Blue (B+W)\u003cbr\u003eCarbon Black (Blk)\u003cbr\u003eUnbleached Titanium (toned W)\u003cbr\u003eTitanium White (W)\u003cbr\u003eGrey mixes (Blk + W) or Umber + W\u003cbr\u003eRich Gold\u003cbr\u003eRaw Umber or\u003cbr\u003eBurnt Umber (optional)\u003cbr\u003ePearl White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote:\u003cbr\u003eThis is a large palette.
