The first layer(imprimatura) was done in tempera a mixture of emerald and crimson. Imprimatura made assistant Buch in advance...the Second and third study with an imprimatura...These studies, obviously, written in Chinese, cheap fleyts, branches round, thin brush...Fleyts Boo loved 2 cm wide, usually is not to shabby ...On these sketches he made the texture by poking the brush at an angle of 45 degrees to the surface of the painting...Here's a "hand job"...
