Egg Tempera Painting Workshop at the Rehoboth Art League

REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – Egg tempera is a handmade painting medium, which is very easy to prepare. It harnesses the natural emulsion of an egg yolk, using it as a binder of liquid and dry pigments to create color layers. Since ancient times, artists have used egg tempera to create delicately luminous paintings of remarkable durability. Unlike oil paint, it will not yellow, change in color, or grow transparent over time. It was the medium used by artists such as Giotto, Fra Angelico, and Botticelli, to name a few.

Taught by guest instructor Źaneta Zubkova at the Rehoboth Art League on Saturday, July 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., “Egg Tempera Painting” is an introduction to the medium through historical and in studio hands-on experience. Painting with egg tempera is like painting with watercolors and gouache. Come and give it a try! The cost of the workshop is $75 per person for members and non-members.
