Tempera Painting for Sale

Artists today have access to different types of paint, but is it really important to know which one they are using? Absolutely! Indeed, depending on the desired effect or the support used, the type of paint makes all the difference.

Tempera paint, an ancient artistic medium, has a fine, creamy, and opaque consistency, giving it a matte finish once dry. Although ephemeral, tempera can be difficult to remove, making it a unique choice for durable artworks. Professional artists often use tempera on paper-based supports, such as ordinary paper, cardboard, display boards, or canvas.

Tempera paint is particularly appreciated for its unique characteristics, such as its creamy texture and matte effect, which provides a distinctive finish to painted artworks and canvases. Artists often choose tempera for its opaque properties and specific finish, ideal for meticulous creations and artistic compositions.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional artist, understanding the differences between paint types and knowing how to use tempera can transform your works and add a new dimension to your creative process.
