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.

Need help with Tempera Painting ?
What is tempera painting and how is it different from other painting techniques?

Tempera painting is a technique that uses egg yolk as a binder for pigments. It differs from other painting techniques like oil and acrylic in that it dries quickly and has a matte finish. It was commonly used in medieval and Renaissance art and is still used today by some artists.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using tempera paint?

Tempera paint is a popular choice for artists due to its vibrant colors and easy clean-up. However, it can be prone to cracking and may not adhere well to certain surfaces. Additionally, it is not as durable as other types of paint and may require multiple layers for full coverage.

What are some famous examples of tempera paintings throughout history?

Some famous examples of tempera paintings throughout history include the works of Italian Renaissance artists such as Botticelli and Raphael, as well as the Byzantine icons of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The medium was also popular in medieval Europe for illuminated manuscripts and religious art.
