Egg Tempera Painting Techniques - Revised

- Combining egg tempera painting techniques from the 14th century painter Cennini with those of modern masters like Rudolph Zallinger and Robert Vickrey, I try my hand at a skill I learned in college over 40 years ago.
This is a revised video from the one originally released in May 2023.
Nice one. I especially liked the rockinh chair part...
That was a long time ago me trying out egg tempera.
WILLIAM BAILEY, my older than old teacher at grad school at Indiana drew me, eggs, girl portraits, mainly EGGS. Know his work....decades later he is still painting.....eggs.
great video! im a 30 year old artist revisiting egg tempera after learning the process in college as well
Best of luck with it!
May I have some unused or unwanted art supply ?
gosh I love your work
Excellent instruction
That was great.
Thanks!
Beautiful
What a lovely video and atmospheric painting.
I’ve also got all the pigments in my cupboard so you have put me in the mood to start another egg tempera painting. It’s such a lovely medium to work with but the gesso prep is what always puts me off.
Thanks for commenting. I hear you about the gessoing. If you do it in a series of thinned coats, there will be less sanding/rubbing at the end to get it smooth.
Восхитительно!
Lovely painting. ^_^ And it seems like the supplies don't get old, like acrylics hardening in a tube! Now, I have several questions:
* You do not use vinegar in your paint mixture?
* Do egg tempera paintings ever develop mold over time? What environment should they be stored in?
* How long does the paint mixture last?
* Does the work get sealed after completion?
* I imagine a mask is needed when handling the unmixed, powdery gesso components?
* I am a vegetarian. I do not mind using unfertilized eggs, but hide/rabbit skin glue is completely off-putting. Do you know of a viable substitute that doesn't involve a blood sacrifice? >_<
I have seen Mr Vickrey's work at Tree's Place gallery in Orleans, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. Though I remember few of the works I have seen there, I remember his well. They were always gorgeous standouts.
Thank you and stay creative!
Vinegarr? No. Just distilled water, ground pigments, and fresh egg yolk. The freshly mixed paints don't keep. You should plan on only preparing enough paint for a single painting session. I have seen some egg tempera paintings in museums (one at the Whitney in NYC, a subway scene by George Tooker comes to mind) that showed mold bloom, but that was probably because the Tooker didn't use distilled water, or his tools were dirty. Properly painted and conserved, egg tempera paintings can last for hundreds of years mold-free. I always frame my paintings behind glass, since air pollution can affect the paint surface. If you meant some kind of varnish, no. Never varnish an egg tempera painting. A mask is optional, if you handle the pigments and marble dust/chalk with care. As for the hide glue binder for the gesso, I do not know of any other kind of glue for this purpose. Feel free to experiment! Thanks for the comment and the questions!
I love egg tempera.. that is a beautiful painting. Thank you for sharing.. I dabble in this medium and I have one of the books I bought when I purchased my pigments. I also sometimes use an egg emulsion with my watercolours for interesting effects for fun . Important to not dip into pans with egg wash.
Thank you. I have also mixed tube watercolors with egg yolk for interesting glazing effects.
peaceful and artful
Great video. Do you have any thoughts or opinions about painting with acrylic paint? The reason I ask is because I'm currently thinking that it's the most similar behaving paint to egg tempera.
Nearly all of the painting techniques between egg tempera and acrylic polymer are the same, except you can scrape off a mistake in egg tempera, which you can't do with the dried plastic film of acrylic. But acrylic is cheaper, quicker, easier, and you can use canvas to paint on. The only acrylic polymer paintings I ever did after high school was in illustration work, though. For easel paintings headed to gallery showings I paint in either egg tempera, watercolor, or in oil.
@@keithminnionstudioart Thanks! I bet working with acrylic will be good practice to gain skills that can be transferred to egg tempera painting. I bet galleries like egg tempera paintings more than acrylic.
Wow. Just an astonishing painting
Thank you!
Beautiful. I work in egg tempera and a far as i know very few of us display our work under glass. Your rocks rock!
Why marble dust (too textured) ?
The wet-sanded surface is perfectly smooth and receptive of paint. Also Ceninni-recommended!
I tend to do almost every thing highly interestingly different.
So many we uestjons
Q. Sash pulls ?
