Well done! Makes me want to get out my Sennelier egg tempera. Great painting my friend!

[@SiningniSing]

Thank you! Happy painting!

The colours and tones look more natural imho

[@SiningniSing]

Thank you. It is one of the best features of egg tempera.

[@TheKafkianProcess]

Beautiful! How would you compare this paint with gouache or watercolor?

[@SiningniSing]

Thank you! It actually felt like gouache, though it seemed to dry much faster. I would not recommend it for large washes ala-watercolor though.

How fast does the tempera dry without water? How opaque are the colors on top of each other?

[@SiningniSing]

On hot conditions, it can dry within minutes. The colors can be opaque when used with less water.

@@SiningniSing Thanks for the response, im after quicker. At regular room temperature, is it under 5min would you say? Can white be painted over black?

[@SiningniSing]

@@GemExtractor I will try this weekend and get back to you. 😀

[@havenhobbs9791]

do you mix the paint with water or a different medium to dilute?

[@SiningniSing]

I use only water when I paint with this.
