      Ancient painting in progress - Behzad
      TECHNIQUES
      It's always instructive to see an ancient painting in progress, and unfinished. This one's by the famous Behzad (c. 1480) and depicts a poet being attacked by dogs. We learn that miniatures were built up in different areas at the same time - something I always try to encourage in my teaching - and you can see areas that are already rendered to a high detail and others that are hardly touched. This is the way artists worked (at least I do too).

      Hello !
      INTRODUCE YOURSELF
      Hello I am Daniela I currently live in Vienna (Austria). I started miniature painting this year, below is my first work 'Goat and phoenix' (postcard). I felt attracted by the strong vivid colours, the small size and the process of miniature painting. I am currently working on a A4 format with two phoenixes. I'm very excited to be here and to see and learn more about miniature painting.
