Painting for Tonight

Painting on the backside of vintage wallpaper recently... This particular one has an adhesive or sizing of some kind which cause the surface of the paper to have a slight texture when its wet with paint. It is a bit gummy but dries leaving a soft pebbled affect... its pretty interesting painting on this stuff. The colors are softer, more subdued as well. Not sure if I like this one or not, but its kept me occupied for the last few hours so its working :)

Egg Tempera Painting

been playing with egg tempera... its hard...

Working with Egg Tempera is like nothing else. It dries so quickly, but when done right creates a beautiful satin finish. To make egg tempera paints, mix the yolk of one egg with a bit of water in a small dish. On a palette mix egg mixture with a bit of powdered pigment and a touch of water until you get a shiny medium bodied consistency... Paint in small strokes building up your surface....

practice and repeat

lots and lots of practice.  This is my first and its still a work in progress. Bon Courage!
