World Bird is painted using a traditional Egg Tempera technique, as used for sacred art iconography for many centuries... Many layers of natural pigments & Egg yolk paint are built up to create a brightly pigmented painting, with a translucent quality, upon a naturally gessoed wood birch board.

The Birch Board is sized with Rabbit Skin Glue, then a piece of thin linen cloth is applied. 8 layers of natural Gesso (RSG, Chalk, Pigment) is brushed on, and then sanded and polished.

Stage 4... Continue first layer of paint Egg Tempera is egg yolk and water mixed with natural ground pigments - organic, mineral, and where needed, synthetic.This palette was Malachite (transparant Blue Green), Cobalt Violet, Naples Yellow, Cerullean Blue, Indigo Blue, Titanium White, Zinc White.

Stage 5... Refine colors & deepen Bird Layers. Each layer of paint adds depth and luminesance. |
|
|
Stage 6... Highlights added, more layers of Sky & Colors Refined. |
|
|
Final Details, Glazes, & color adjustments... Painting finished... I prefer not to varnish the Egg Tempera paintings... leaving their silky matt surface to gradually harden & cure over the next 6 months. (The painting is dry to the touch, but is still vulnerable to water damage & scratches... )Egg Tempera has a depth & luminosity that is not shown in the low res. pictures above.... |
