Unlike the stark white of paper, calfskin vellum has a warm color ranging from pale off-white to a rich honey. Additionally, the surface variation present in vellum results in a uniquely textured finished product. Learn very basic tips and techniques for painting on vellum, starting with simple exercises on vellum scraps. Margaret discusses how paint and vellum work together and demonstrates building color and form. Finish by painting a simple drawing on vellum. Please bring lunch.
