papyrus
parchment
Illumination is an art from the middle-ages : natural pigments, gold leaves and oak-apple inks were used, on real parchment. I try to use these methods as much as I can to make my works, for exhibitions, demonstrations and courses.
I only use middle-ages techniques for illumination
I also make my own parchment,
in order to have it as close to the middle-ages as possible : only with skins and lime. When I use other techniques, my works bear another name (calligraphy, oil paintings, etc..)
