[Ansteorra] need paintmaking help

[Kimberly Koch]

Hi Stephanie,

> 1)  How do you make oxgall?

I'd recommend taking this question over to one of the
SCA-wide scribal lists. Both have a number of members
who have researched medieval scribal tools and
techniques and are pretty knowledgeable about a wide
range of scribal topics.

You can find subscription information for these lists
here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SCA_Scribes_and_Illumination/

You can also purchase oxgall:

> 2)Can you suggest some references for how paint was
> made in the 15th century?  

Try Daniel V. Thompson's "Materials and Techniques and
Medieval Painting." It's readily available on Amazon,
and it's very inexpensive.

Regards,
Mistress Sara Penrose
