Technical specification: Sanguine

The blood, that in the artistic tradition defines a particular graphics technique, is a drawing tool, one of the oldest. It is composed of hematite, a ferrous mineral, cut into strips, and properly pointed, with which you can draw on the paper signs from the characteristic reddish colour that reminds of blood (hence the name of the blood). The mixture of iron, moreover, is often enriched with small amounts of ochre.
