This unusual technique, was taught to me by Mongiardino Master decorative painters, which I am happy to share. Suitable for extremely detailed wood inlaid works. This is a subtractive technique: starting with a pigment-coated surface, a pattern is developed by removing areas exposed through stencil, achieving various color shades. Appropriate for works on wood and paper grounds. This technique's application to marblizing using a stencil will also be discussed.
