Egg Tempera
Throughout the 12th to the 15th centuries, most of the religious type paintings were done in egg tempera. This is a very gentle and delicate type of medium allowing for complex and detailed effects to be added. Industry leading manufacturers such as Sennelier and Claessens have top grade products for egg tempera. Egg Tempera is great for restoration, fine art and icon painting. Many oil painters use egg tempera for under painting. Artists looking for high pigmentation choose egg tempera. Claessens Absorbent Primed Linen for Tempera is a great surface for creating beautiful works of art. This linen is usually seen in traditional painting styles. Linen canvas is protected by synthetic glue from oils that are acidic. This also lends a rigid texture to the canvas making it simple to stretch. It is primed using two coats of chalk formulated with rabbit skin glue. This chalk enhances the absorption of paint and allows for a fresco look to finished works.
