Egg Tempera Painting
Instructor: Diane Hayworth
To make egg tempera paint the artist must mix egg yolk with pure pigment to create beautiful color. This hand mixed paint is frequently used in a very clean, crisp and detailed style layering thin glazes. Egg Tempera paint has a deep historical history. This durable paint was used before the oil paint became common and is the reason why so many incredible 13-14th century works survive today. In this class we learn how to prepare a board and mix pigments along with excellent painting and drawing instruction.
Ages 18 & up • Friday & Saturday • November 9-10 • 10:00 am - 3:30 pm • $130 members $135 non-members
