The Techniques
©2000 Silvia Battaglini
The illustrator uses the watercolour technique with great mastery, from the first ample (campiture) of base to the lighter and lighter following veilings up to the finishes; and to the last touches of data with thinner and thinner brushes. This allows an articulated chromatic rich range of shades and of gradations, of light shadings and brightness, necessary for the representation of small (little) details like spores, the lamellae, the surfaces, the veils, the veins; detail finally also arrives to the treads of grass and to the sprigs on which the smaller mushrooms have grown. Sometimes represented the stadium of the growth, the sections and other parts of the mushroom.
To the inside of the tables is possible individualize a tall composition ability, dictated from linear simplicity and distant from any complex and redundant construction: in fact the single elements have organized for masses and volumes, grates symmetries and proportions that they give to the table a final result of harmony and studied equilibrium.
