This photo-filled guide offers you all the information you need to
begin the fascinating ancient art of illumination, and then to
improve your skills. A short history of the art, including photos
of some of the world's great medieval masterpieces, gives you
context, and then you're introduced to the materials and basic
techniques. First learn the proper ways of preparing your
parchment, selecting pigments, gilding, and using color. Next, the
five steps of illuminating are clearly taught in detail. By
learning to create friezes, detailed human faces, flourishes,
creatures such as dragons and elephants, and much more, you'll
discover a skill that has crossed the centuries. Today,
illumination can be used to add a special flair to diplomas,
invitations, family trees, or a memorable event like a wedding, a
birthday, or an anniversary.
