in the classroom、I decided to try a demonstration of mixing tempera and watercolor.。The picture above is a prototype for that purpose.。to learn new things、The hurdle should be as low as possible。Starting from the history of tempera,、If it seems like a lecture, I'll turn back in front of the gate.。
What is tempera?、This is an old technique that predates the creation of oil painting.、bird eggs、animal milk, blood etc.、Paints that take advantage of the properties of proteins that harden when dry.、It's about the technique of drawing.。In Japan, paintings using starch rather than protein developed.、It also seems to be a type of tempera.。
The support for this painting is thick watercolor paper (it's quite wavy)。Ordinary watercolor there、Painting “watercolor (undercoat)” with flatness in mind。No background painting。
There's only a bright spot、Paint with white tempera (thickly)。I don't use tempera other than white.。The pigment is titanium white。You can make tempera paint just by mixing it with raw eggs.。easy! By the way、Even if you dissolve ordinary watercolors in eggs, they turn into “tempera”。however、That would be a huge waste、Not recommended。
The effects are: (1) It feels thicker than regular watercolors, (2) It is especially useful for people's faces, etc.。Disadvantages? 1) You cannot use the unique technique of watercolor called "bleeding" (it requires some ingenuity), 2) It becomes flat (use it as a positive effect), etc.。The paints are handmade, so、Rather than just squeezing it out of a tube.、It takes a little time (about 3 minutes)、It also has the advantage of being extremely cheap.。
