Egg Tempera:
Underpainting
Egg tempera underpainting for Sint
Annarei Grande, 59 x 44 cm. or 23 1/4" x 17 1/4"
My love affair with egg tempera goes back to
my first experiments with it for the Nils multimedia project in
1978. Its simplicity of use, tactile purity, and quiet
resolution speaks for itself. My own use of it since that
early time period has principally been as an underpainting for
oils. Here are some of the more successful projects. |
