While browsing the Web this morning for a painting of a spider web, I learned about a 15th- or 16th-century Austrian painting technique that some artists still use. Rather than working on cloth canvas, the material of choice is a gathering of spider or cobwebs.
I know that an artist may work on any material that will hold the paint, but cobwebs never entered my mind. Guess I lack the imagination or resourcefulness of those long-ago Austrian peasants.
