Abstract(s)

Airbrush techniques have been minimally addressed in the field of conservation and restoration. A review of existing literature reveals limited knowledge about their application, apart from their use in ceramics. This research explores the use of airbrushing as an alternative method for chromatic reintegration of tiles. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of airbrushing in achieving precise chromatic reintegration, using the tratteggio technique and “reglatino” as starting points. To reach this, several mock-ups were created to assess the most suitable methodologies for optimal results, noting their advantages and disadvantages. The most efficient methodology was then used on two 17th century tiles. This paper aims to reflect on the potential application of airbrushing in chromatic reintegration, showcasing one of its many possible uses.
