målarlina

Målarlina, also known as painter's line or artist's line, is a fine, flexible, and durable thread used primarily in the art of painting. It is typically made from natural fibers such as cotton, linen, or silk, and is available in various colors and thicknesses. The thread is often used to create a base layer or underpainting, which serves as a foundation for the final painting. Målarlina is also used to create decorative elements, such as borders, patterns, and textures, and to repair or restore damaged paintings. Its versatility and durability make it a valuable tool for artists and restorers alike. The term "målarlina" is derived from Swedish, where "måla" means to paint and "lina" means line. The use of målarlina dates back to the Renaissance period, where it was employed by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Today, it remains an essential material in the world of art and art restoration.
