Congratulations on a great article. Your work is very impressive and the breadth of skills from drawing to fire is really neat. I love the realism!

That indeed was a great

That indeed was a great article! I checked your web site and after looking at your paintings, am impressed with your attention to detail. Egg tempera, as I understand it, consists of fresh egg mixed with pigment and applied with small brushes in small strokes. Perhaps your technique is different but I consider it a difficult medium. Fits in with metalwork. Keep it all up.

:) Thanks

Traditionally egg tempera is applied in that way, small brush strokes, but i've found that it can be used as a wash. It's transparent because of the egg yolk. So you're able to see all the colors, shading and even pencil drawings underneath.... I had tried doing the 'cross hatching' technique, but got bored with it really fast....Painting has taken a back seat, but i'm not giving it up...i've got a painting going that will probably be finished in a year...i get to it when i'm able....thanks for commenting on the paintings, very few people do....
