Unlock the secrets of medieval manuscript illumination with these easy steps! Start by gathering your supplies: parchment paper, natural pigments, fine brushes, and gold leaf. Begin with a simple design, perhaps a decorative initial. Sketch lightly in pencil before applying your pigments. Layer colors from light to dark, allowing each to dry. Carefully apply gold leaf for that authentic medieval shimmer. Finish by outlining details with a fine brush. Perfect for adding a touch of history to your art collection! Share your creations and connect with fellow history enthusiasts. Happy illuminating!
