Egg Tempera Painting Process for Byzantine and Russian Icons Traditional Technique Demo Tutorial

The store is up! members.rpacga.... You can order printed reproductions of the finished icons in any size on paper, canvas or (recommended) aluminum plate. I've ordered some samples and they look gorgeous.
This video describes the process of painting in transparent layers with egg tempera mixed by hand from powdered pigments. Three highlights and three floats are added to a base layer roskrish. For a demo of how to apply the gold and how to mix the paint, please see the other videos on this channel. A separate video on applying the varnish will be uploaded soon.

Luiza,
Your work is beautiful, both in execution and final result. Tutorial is very helpful. How do you apply the highlights without lifting the pigment underneath? It seems that the floats do not always dry or spread the pigment evenly (at least when I do them) and, while not such a problem on garments, it is problematic on faces. It seems that you use the first highlight to make blend and create a smoother appearance but I do not see how you do the blending without lifting the pigment below. Thanks for sharing your work!

[@luizab221]

Thanks! To avoid lifting pigment, allow 1-2 days for the tempera to cure completely. To get even floats I allow the pigment to separate in my palette after I've mixed it, and take only the top of the mixture with the finest particles. Even so, I still get edges. I have to mask them as best as I can. Floating on a cured tempera layer always helps with touch-ups.

[@carysall2716]

First i wonder about the stages named float.. we mix the colour with egg or with water?
Second, after so many layers of colour we don't face any problems with the "skin's" look? Like cracks?

[@luizab221]

Mix egg and water together. keep the layers thin to avoid cracking. they should all be transparent
