This series of paintings, Ashes, uses a technique developed by me for dry painting using wood ash or bamboo.
All wood ash comes from certified wood, used as firewood for a pizza oven...
ecological painting material and reuse
I create tempera, with dried bamboo leaves collected in the forest.
With this technique, I paint directly on the canvas with gray, and through the technique I developed, I get different gray scales.
In this painting: the lightest part is grey, the graphic undulations, graphite. The lower left corner, another darker gray graduation, with grays. The two strongest lines in black are bamboo tempera.
