[edit]In the section street art and photography, the unencyclopedic statement "what I call ediglyph" is unsupported. Removing it until it can be expressed differently or attributed, or supported by a reference and third person who makes the statement is named. I would change it to more neutral language except that "ediglyph" seems to be a neologism as well. Julia Rossi (talk) 07:14, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Is the opening sentence correct?: "A pentimento (plural pentimenti) is an alteration in a painting ...". I beleive that in normal usage the pentimenti are features of the under-drawing, not of the over-painting. I think it would be more correct to say something like "A pentimento (plural pentimenti) is a feature of the preparatory under-drawing that differs from the final painting ..."PeterKidd (talk) 11:55, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- I think it is - see the NG glossary in external links. The pentimento is the change, not that which is changed. They may be revealed by sight of the under-drawing, or may only be in different stages of overpaint. Johnbod (talk) 19:10, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
