AB - IN his discourse on "Forgotten Methods of Painting" at the Royal Institution on February 2, Mr. Hesketh Hubbard spoke of the almost forgotten sfumato and botizar systems of oil painting, and dealt with the method of dusting dry powdered pigment over a sticky mordant which was used by some of the sixteenth and seventeenth century painters for laying certain pigments—a method known as 'strowing'. He outlined the technique of the fourteenth century English painters who worked in water-colour on woven linen; the linen was first saturated with gum-water, and then stretched over coarse woollen and frieze cloths which absorbed most of the colour, leaving the linen transparent after painting. The method of elydoric painting, or painting miniatures in oil whilst the painting ground was submerged in water, and the techniques of encaustic painting were among the topics mentioned.
