One of the key aspects of Portuguese architecture<\/em><\/strong> and cultural identity is the azulejo<\/strong><\/em>, or hand-painted tiles, which can be easily found across Portugal in different types of buildings, both inside and outside. The azulejo<\/strong><\/em> is a clay or ceramic plate piece, generally\u00a0with a square shape decorated with\u00a0colorful designs<\/strong> which consist, in most cases, of Moorish patterns. However, these hand-painted tiles also often portray scenes from\u00a0Portuguese history<\/strong>, such as episodes from the Discoveries era, recollecting memories of a distant past and immortalizing Portuguese heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process is very intricate. The\u00a0drawing\u00a0<\/strong>is made on parchment paper that is drawn with a graffiti pen and stamped with a coal pencil in the\u00a0tile. The\u00a0paintwork\u00a0is\u00a0done with water-based paint; a powder that is mixed with water to work the density. The painting process requires\u00a0knowledge: not too watery and not too strong. The outline is made from the contour brush, and then the background is painted with a swath brush to highlight the piece. The\u00a0hand-painted tile<\/strong>\u00a0goes to the oven and the rest of the coal disappears. The process is complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
