Egg Tempera has been used since the Renaissance. Much of the religious panel painting done between the 12th and 15th century was done in this delicate and subtle medium, which is capable of detailed and complex effects. The paint holds it’s brush strokes, and does not change when dry.

This class will explore this medium to understand the gradual weaving and build-up of colors that adds dimension to one’s work. Students should bring 2-3 images to work from for subject matter, their own palettes and paint brushes. Paint and board provided.
