Limbourg Book Cover (at wood-burned
step prior to painting) |

| Limbourg Book Cover by Shirley Marie Dees. This image is provided to show the woodburning stage in development of this style of art. Images are first lightly drawn on the wood, then woodburned, then painted with acrylics (usually leaving some area[s] of the wood unpainted). Next a wood stain is applied, and finally several coats of finish are added to protect the art. Transparent acrylics usually dominate in order to show the woodgrain, with opaque and metallic acrylics often used as accents. This particular style was developed by the artist. |
