Poem Painting Timelapse

Lucas Tucker

A timelapse of the painting process of the knotwork on a custom poem. The egg tempera paint is all made using medieval materials and painted in small sections as it dries very quickly.

Poem Knotwork Drawing

Lucas Tucker

Timelapse of the knotwork on a custom poem illuminated manuscript. The majority of the video is at 20x speed. The underdrawing was all done with a lead-tin stylus and the erasing is with either leather and pumice, or stale bread. The final inking is with a quill and iron gall ink.

Poem Calligraphy Timelapse

Lucas Tucker

A time lapse of the Calligraphy for a poem written by a client. 20x speed for the majority of the video. The lines are all drawn with a bronze stylus, and the drawing was completed with a lead/tin stylus based on medieval recipes. The iron gall ink is my medieval recipe, written of course with a handcut goose quill.

Writing a Prayer, Watch over thy Child...

Lucas Tucker

Writing with a goose quill on calfskin parchment, using my medieval scribe’s knife to hold the page in place. As always, the ink is made using medieval materials and recipes.
