Mixing and matching

"Methods of retouching, or inpainting, vary according to personal preference-- the media, pigments and techniques used are each chosen to suit the individual object.

The history, development and method of application of each technique is discussed and illustrated, while additional papers explore practical and theorectical aspects of colour matching"--Page 4 of cover.
