A guided portrait in egg tempera part 1.

[@nidaljabarin4743]

what is the best to paint with the egg temperature on the canvas or something else?

[@markcornelius8802]

Canvas is too flexible for egg tempera. Egg tempera dries/cures into a very brittle surface and that is why you see people painting on wood panels. It needs a rigid support and an absorbent surface.

@@markcornelius8802 u think thick watercolor paper taped to a wooden panel would be stiff enough?
