Egg Tempera Painting
This workshop introduces participants to the traditional craft of preparing and using egg-based emulsions in fine art. Egg tempera has been used by artists for thousands of years, and it brings a unique luminous quality to the artwork, as well as being a sustainable and durable paint medium that is particularly suited to fine work.
During the day you will learn how to prepare a variety of emulsions, combined with pigments to produce your own paints, and then paint your own small Renaissance-style icon.
By the end of the course, you will have acquired a solid foundation in working with egg tempera and natural pigments, gaining both practical skills and essential knowledge of this historic medium.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced artists looking to explore this fantastic medium.
A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.
