Secrets of decorative painting
A painter-decorator needs to be acquainted with traditional techniques: glue-based and egg-based tempera, etc. and their appearance, so as to be able to
choose, among all possible techniques, both traditional or modern, the one that will serve most effectively each decorative project.
The use of pigments, binding agents, their specific properties, a knowledge of the techniques,
from the rarest to the most common, will allow him to respond appropriately to increasingly demanding and refined decorative needs.
