Thank you for sharing this. I use eggtempera in the simple form with yolk and water. For underpainting my oilportraits. The next one will be in full tempera like your other video’s. You inspired me to try! I like the environmental unharming quality of the egg tempera.
That's great. It's a really gorgeous medium once you get used to it I think. I've been mainly doing oil painting for a while but have returned to egg tempera and I'm really enjoying it. You might like to try casein painting too. It's very similar but somewhat easier to do and is better for oil underpainting I think.
@@waxeggoil3130 would like to use caseïnpaint. But here in the Netherlands it is not available. I learned to paint with egg tempera in the classic way at the Royal academy of fine arts the Hague. Underpainting in earth green or terra red and than a deadpaint in whites. After that layers of thin glazings of oilpaint.
Very interesting! I've heard of people using wine in their recipes, but wasn't quite sure why. Does the alcohol evaporate faster than water? I've never heard of wax being added to egg tempera. Being very new to egg tempera, wax is not something I'll likely try any time soon, but it's good to know about. I've been instructed to stick with the traditional 1 part yolk to 1 part water. Anyway, thanks for sharing your videos!
Yes, I do think the affect of the wine is to dry somewhat faster. Wax additive is quite difficult to use. You can only add a small amount. I'm glad people are getting some use out of these videos.
@@waxeggoil3130 Oh, yes, lots of useful and interesting information in what I've seen of your videos thus far! I greatly enjoyed watching you paint the cityscape/landscape, then I found this recipe/mix how-to; I'm going through your portrait series now. Very instructive - thanks again for sharing!
