i am always amazed how well informed and educational these short videos are. they ask and answer the questions anyone would have when discovering art or artefacts in a museum or in situ.
The video states Egg Tempera is NOT transparent. It is in fact VERY transparent unless you add titanium white. The transparency is what gives it a luminous quality. It dries fast so dozens of glazes can be applied in a day!
outstanding, specifically the mention about painters in the same guild as pharmacists and the gold leaf under natural flame lighting really made this stuff come to life for my students
It is really a useful video to understand what is the type of painting techniques used in appreciating a Paint. It makes you know when observing and how is a paint done. I hope to all appreciating a paint or making a artworks to apply this too.
once again, an appreciation of everything that goes into the techne and art required to make the art ... much much more than meets the eye. thanks again for the education !!
At 8:10, a question is asked and the answer is, "It's very, very thin, which is important for a reason that we'll come to." This is answered starting at about 9:40.
Painters could of course develop whatever formula suited them and some are thought to have used some amount of the white in addition to the yolk. Nevertheless, the yolk functioned as the primary binder in paintings such as this.
Stop repeating information over and over. I don't need to hear that the paint is egg based three times in five minutes. I also don't need to hear questions and their answers when the same exact information is given less than fifteen seconds earlier. Please, step it up and engage me when I'm being required to watch these for a class.

Where could I see an example of how such a wood panel is made?
Cool
In reference to the use of gold leaf, the discussion of which starts at 7:00.
How you spell the "Jaso" that paint on the wood before you apply Tempera? Thanks!
Gesso
gesso
je-so.........gesso
the second painting is not tempera, is oil colour!!. It's a work of Vermeer, much later than the period when tempera was not longer used.
Yes, that's what we said in the video.
i read that its egg white not egg yolk that is used

Barry, You read it wrong.....or You read something wrote by somebody who wants to emphasize ...

haha. bro you can take it. If anything you need to "step it up" and rewatch the video.
I see no value in this doc what so ever of course your a student wanting to pass a test - other than that - Nothing -
Some people are interested in learning for its own sake. Some people find it enriching and pleasing and rewarding to learn new things.
Painting in egg tempera is pretty fun, and it's helpful and interesting to know how the old masters did it.
