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\u003e Here 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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMediums:\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)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry, Mahogany or Red Wood Stain Glaze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalette:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.
