Egg Tempera

The things I've been making and doing lately are a lot different than before starting the C.O.R.E. program. Most of the things I've been doing are fun exercises that help provide curriculum, but some things might help revitalize my own art. This project being one of them.

I haven't used egg tempera in a really long time. Oh, maybe 8 years. I remember hating it. But, I decided to try it for this project and had a great time with it. The colors it provides can be much more vibrant than watercolor. I'm going to do some more...

  1. I have never used egg tempera. What is the consistency like?

  2. If I keep enjoying doing this, I'll eventually buy pigments and make paint from scratch. but for now, I'm just using the "school" version, which is watercolor paint + egg yolk. This version is well, kind of the consistency of egg yolk. It dries super fast and is transparent.
