I think egg tempera is one of the most under-appreciated mediums. Your method is the best and easiest I have seen. Thanks! BTW, I sometimes paint egg tempera on tempera ground. I basically prepare the wood with glue size, then scumble a thin layer of egg tempera white (egg plus pigment which is actually a mix of titanium and marble dust). Let it dry for a while then paint my painting over this.

Thank you for the video. My hesitation with egg tempera is that I find it wasteful. At the end it feels wrong to throw away my pigment and egg yolk mixes. Any recommendations? I guess I just have to really plan and make very small mixes so I don't have a lot leftover. It may be difficult since what I would like to achieve is realism. Again, thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Thank you for the video! This is one of my favorite mediums.. I love the naturally luminous quality it has. Now I'm curious, how do you stop bugs from eating the paint while it's curing? That was the one problem I had.. I would let it dry before varnishing and come back a day or two later to find tiny little grooves in the paint layer where it had been eaten away.

Please be careful with dry pigment powder, especially cadmium and heavy metals. Wear mask and work in ventilated area when you use powered pigments.

In my experience, it beads up while painting and flecks off easily. It adheres to hide glue gesso much better.

@@Alucard33592 Exactly! Why not just use acrylic all the way, and paint the whole thing? Plastic never dies, right? Linseed oil was one of the traditional sealants for icons. Of course, it means an icon is drying for up to one year after the painting job is finished, 6 months for tempera + pigment to fully cure, followed by 6 months of oil to be fully cured. In today's culture, it's ages and no one wants to wait 5 minutes. Do you want something truly sacred? Learn to wait and don't use plastic, I mean acrylic.
