Winter Picture – Pergamano Technique

Place the fabric on the table, the picture on it and tracing paper on the picture. With the help of various tools trace the contours of the picture (without the stars). Press firmly, but only enough to leave a white trace on the tracing paper. If you press too hard, you can make a hole. Use a nail to correct the contours of the stars and the chimney. When all the contours have been corrected, erase the pencil marks on the other side. Turn the sheet of paper over again and place it this time on the fabric itself. Correct some of the less visible contours. Using the head of a pin placed in a skewer stick, apply shadows and snow. Place a piece of canvas under the tracing paper and use the pin head to reflect its texture. We can reflect different objects on tracing paper. It all depends on your idea. In the stars we make a few holes with a pin. We color the picture with markers, but in such a way as not to color the hollows. Such a picture can be for example hung in the window. You can also put a dark piece of paper underneath, which will make the picture even more visible.
