TINTORETTO PRODUCTS USED

Given the large dimensions of his watercolors, to make the most of the filling of vast backgrounds of color, Gonzalo uses large brushes or mottlers with soft hair, composed of very capillary fibers capable of retaining high quantities of well-diluted color. An example is our 1412 Aquasoft series in natural goat hair of the best quality, excellent for creating backgrounds and glazes thanks to its flawless softness.
