white paper pricked to allow the drawing to be transferred to a fresco (spolvero technique) Explanation: white paper pricked to allow the drawing to be transferred to a fresco (spolvero technique) a bit wordy, but this is the idea Later, techniques for transferring paper drawings to the wall were developed. The main lines of the drawing were pricked over with a point, held against the wall, and a bag of soot (spolvero) banged on them on produce black dots along the lines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresco An early method (see cartone) of transferring the artist's drawing onto the intonaco. After.drawings as large as the frescoes were made on paper, their outlines were pricked, and the paper was cut into pieces the size of each day's work. http://www.mystudios.com/gallery/giotto/terms.html |

sheet of white paper perforated for transfer using the 'spolvero' technique Explanation: The artist makes a drawing and pricks tiny holes in the outlines. After placing the drawing against a surface, he or she “pounces” it with a cloth bag of powdered charcoal or pigment, creating a dotted outline on the surface beneath.
