Original Paintings
Egg tempera is a classical
medium that pre-dates oil paint. In its simplest form it consists of pure
ground
pigment mixed with egg yolk, forming transparent colors which are applied
in layers over a rigid white surface, such as gessoed board. Each layer
must be brushed on from a different direction in order to not lift the
paint beneath. Light passes through the layers of paint and is reflected
back from the white ground, resulting in a luminous effect peculiar to
this medium.
