Cardinal Egg Tempera

It’s been ages since I’ve worked with other mediums for painting besides watercolor, but I thought I might try some egg tempera for a little change recently. This is the first of that media that I’ve completed, experimenting with it a number of years ago but I hadn’t put in the time to complete anything. I can’t say that I will likely convert to a new medium like this, because my watercolors have been wonderful to work with (though technically the egg tempera is a watermedia also), but this has been a nice shift.

Throughout the process I couldn’t stop thinking about how artists from the past worked in egg exclusively, both yolk and white/glare, with their hand ground pigments.

    Hi Rebecca,

    Your paintings are absolutely beautiful.

    Question: How do I buy a painting of yours? Your website does not specify “available paintings” nor
    “gallery” name.

    Awaiting your response. MS

    Your work is amazing. In visiting your site, I noticed how extremely busy you are painting for different events over the USA. At any time do hold any workshops for those of us who would like to learn from you and/or constructive critiques.

    Awaiting your response.

      Hi Vicki,
      Thank you! Sorry for the delay. So far I have not done workshops or put together instructional materials. I may in the future, but everything else is keeping my time occupied for the time being. Sorry!
