hey Anton, I like your ground and varnishes. I would love to see some detailed videos about them.

Interesting, but it's pretty useless if you don't say what you're doing and what chemicals you're adding, and in what proportions. Is there any hope of knowing? Nice music anyway😊

I'm gonna assume it was alum, being used as a mordant But I'm not a dye maker
