What tools do limners use?
· Brushes- Limners used brushes of varying sizes according to the kind of portrait they were painting. They sometimes made their own brushes, but such utensils were available from merchants as well. Brushes were made of quills from geese, ducks and crows that differed in size. · Color Box-The color box was used to securely transport the limner's paints and pigments. A standard colonial limner color box, or paint box, was wooden and had hinges attaching the top half of the box to the bottom. · Ivory- Limners often painted tiny, watercolor portraits on small pieces of ivory, often oval-shaped, that were commonly worn as jewelry. · Pigments- Much like renaissance artists, colonial limners kept a supply of pigments in their color boxes. These were the key to creating colors used in watercolor, oil and tempera paints.
