#sgraffito
Shield, ca. 1535
Attributed toGirolamo da Treviso (Italian, ca. 1497–1544)
This piece is from a distinctive group of Renaissance pageant shields painted on both sides with scenes from Roman history and classical mythologyingrisaille (tones of gray) on a gold-leaf ground. Many of the details are rendered in sgraffito(the technique of scratching through a surface to reveal a different color underneath—in this case, gold). The exposed gold is impressed with comma-shaped marks to heighten its light-reflecting quality.
Girolamo da Treviso was one of the few sixteenth-century artists to employ the demanding sgraffito technique, which had gone out of fashion by the late fifteenth century.
The battle scenes on the inside of the shield, perhaps illustrating episodes from the life of the Roman general Scipio, show a keen observation of classical costume and armor, which were known from antique sculpture and coins. The style of painting, the physical types, and the energetic poses are strongly indebted to Giulio Romano, who was Raphael’s assistant and, later, court painter to the dukes of Mantua. Girolamo da Treviso worked with Giulio in Mantua in 1527.

Portraits At The Pub 20: Jules
Portraits At The Pub 20: Jules
For my 20th Portraits at the Pub we had another PATP model that like Rick we had just before the first Lockdown – Jules! As before I started with ink drawings in the A4 sketchbook, including a post that was the mirror of last time but drawn far better! I was using the Evergood french flex vintage pen, a recent purchase and refurb – only £17 on eBay, fixed by myself with a new ink sac fitted. It’s…

I finally found a way I can start to make better process videos for you guys I went ahead and purchased the @shopcanvas.co light, and although I haven’t got everything sussed about best video practices etc, I’m hoping I’ll get there soon enough, to share some of the process, tips and mesmerizing time lapse imagery!
This first video (sped up x 10) is from today, where I am carving the ‘Garden’ design of a mug using the Sgraffito method. In this case I am using blended slips that I have processed myself as surface decoration. I hope you enjoy!

When I go to record videos it’s nice to turn off the music and throw while the birds sing outside
This is around 4-5 pounds of clay for this here planter! Love how you can see the metal rib wicking away slip in real time, so satisfying

A little bit Art Nouveau maybe…….my take on nasturtiums
Sgraffito attempt today….looking a bit rough at the moment, but hoping my plans for glazing when they’re ready, transforms them
Allegoric sgraffito
Allegoric sgraffito (presumably personification of Lady Architect, although some sources say it is Science) on the wall of a tenement house (1938-39, designed by Edward Skawiński) at the Oficerskie Estate (Osiedle Oficerskie) in Krakow, Poland
