Sennelier Egg Tempera is an authentic formulation of classic egg
tempera as used by artists since the Renaissance. In fact, before
the rise of oil painting, egg tempera was the predominant
painting medium in the 16th century. Much of the religious
panel painting done between the 12th and the 15th century was
done in this delicate and subtle medium, which is capable of
detailed and complex effects. The Sennelier egg tempera is
famous as the medium used by Marc Chagall in many of his
most spectacular works.
Egg tempera is a semi opaque water soluble and permanent
painting medium wonderful for fine art painting, restoration
and icon painting. It is perfect for oil painters who need a highly
pigmented, fine art color alternative to oil painting and its
solvents. Its archival characteristics are excellent and do not age
or yellow like oil paints, as evidenced by lasting luminosity and
beauty of Renaissance paintings. Sennelier uses the same
premium quality pigments in this line of egg tempera as they do
in their oil paints, assuring the same unequaled vibrancy and
brilliance as in the Sennelier oils. It is bound with an centuries
old egg emulsion recipe, giving a satin-matt finish that is water
resistant when dry. Sennelier egg tempera have working qualities
and a finish that are only found in authentic egg tempera made
in this traditional manner. These delicate colours hold their
brush strokes, and do not change when dry. They can be worked
with a brush or a palette knife (diluted with water) on nongreasy
supports like acrylic primed canvas or paper. Preliminary
sketches can be drawn on canvases, followed by oil paints.
Pronounced impasto techniques are not recommended for egg
tempera. Varnished egg tempera paintings look like oil paintings
when varnished. It is recommended to give a finished egg
tempera painting a coating of pastel fixative before
applying a final oil paint picture varnish.
