Egg tempera is an ancient paint medium. It is a simple art medium that is made by the artist. While there are a range of methods of how to make it, it always includes egg yolk. The recipe variations occur with the liquid elements. For example, some recipes include white wine, vinegar, or water.
When made, the egg mixture is mixed with dry pigment to form paint.
Egg Tempera is old and traditional technique, it is more transparent than oil and holds less pigment, which allows light to penetrate through it and reflect off the white surface of the gesso below. Another advantage of egg tempera is that, unlike oil paintings, it is resistant to light, and its colours do not darken or change with age.
