HERB JUICE
AN ANCIENT PAINTING TECHNIQUE THAT "IMPRINTS" NATURE ONTO FABRIC. The pictorial effect that is achieved with this technique lies in the delicacy of watercolor, but the rendering of colors has its own brilliance. In Europe, too, this technique was widely used in the 1600s and 1700s to paint fabric tapestries, using vegetable colors spread 'imbibendo,' that is, impregnating canvases without the need for preparation.
