Tempera, or egg tempera, is a water-based paint that has been used by artists for centuries. Known for its luminosity, clarity and permanence, it was the primary painting medium before the invention of oil paints.
Made by mixing pigment with egg yolk, tempera is best applied in thin layers to rigid surfaces such as wood or aluminum. It dries quickly to a matte finish. Tempera allows for precise detail, making it well-suited to traditional techniques, icon painting, and fine art restoration.
