Free Recipe PDF: Natural Egg Tempera

Why try Natural Egg Tempera?

  • Simple but sophisticated: Traditional egg tempera uses just three ingredients, yet it can produce stunningly complex optical effects.

  • Quick-drying: The paint dries within minutes.

  • Permanent once dry: Once cured, egg tempera is incredibly durable — some 14th-century paintings still retain their original color vibrancy.

  • Translucent beauty: Each layer of egg tempera is slightly transparent, allowing light to bounce through the paint layers and create a soft, inner glow that other paints can’t quite replicate.
