The tulips paintings are based on a recently 'discovered' tulip book. The tulips are painted on wooden panels with tempera standing in the tradition of the painters of the 17 century.
The nintynine tulips from the era of the tulip mania are based on images from the Dutch tulip book. Which were the flower catalogues of the 17th century. I will paint in the old tradiontal way of tempera on wooden panel covered with a layer of chalk. In this episode I talk of the process of painting. I link to pictures of the process which you can see at my Instagram account Arto Dŭaras.
