Look at how an oil painting is made Before painting: 1 Wooden panel 
Oak planks joined together 2 Layer of white primer 
Mixture of chalk and animal glue made from rabbit skins or fish bones Now painting can begin: 3 Imprimatura 
Fine layer of translucent ochre oil paint 4 Preparatory drawing 
Sketch with a pen and ink or charcoal 5 Applying the colours 
The colour is a mixture of pigments blended with siccative oil (which makes the paint dry) and volatile turpentine (which evaporates) Pigments come from nature: stones, plants or animal skins, ground to powder. Bruegel also paints in tempera on linen with water-based pigments.
He travelled to southern Italy and drew the sea and the ships. He crossed the Alps, often stopping to draw the mountains and valleys. Bruegel is one of the first artists from the Low Countries to paint landscapes based on sketches he made on his travels. 
Find Icarus in the painted landscape 
What a wonderful landscape! But what is a Northern peasant doing working his field on the shores of a Southern Sea? The painter is having fun mixing times and places. The painting tells the story of Icarus, a hero from Greek mythology. Mythology: People of Antiquity thought up fantastic stories myths to explain the world and natural phenomena like lightening and earthquakes.The fall of IcarusOne day the King of Crete gets really angry with his architect Daedalus.To punish him, he imprisons him and his son Icarus in a labyrinth.The ingenious Daedalus finds a way to escape.
He makes wings out of feathers and wax.Father and son then fly off, across the sea.Overwhelmed with joy at being free again, Icarus forgets all about his fathers advice and flies too near the sun. The heat melts the wax and he falls! What about you? How would you draw the myth of Icarus?
Alchemy is a science which in the greatest secrecy tries to discover the philosophers stone, the magic substance from which anything else can be made! Some alchemists believe that it can be found by melting down metals. Others hope to turn base metals into gold so they can get rich easily.
