You can also buy powdered pigments. It is quick drying and must be applied in thin layers. It is a very interesting medium and does not yellow like oil paints and it's non toxic and doesn't require toxic thinners like oils do. It is a fascinating medium and this artist has his own hens and that's a plus for the many egg yolks he uses! It's fascinating. xo, Rosemary

His artwork IS amazing!
Beautiful landscapes in the link! I've heard that it is much harder to paint with egg tempera than with oils or watercolors.
Pam -- I found a DIY site with lots of photos explaining the process of egg tempra and instructions to make your own.
