- How to make Medieval Paint - Egg Tempera Paint Like DaVinci Made This is a tutorial on how to make medieval paint in the way Davinci probably did it 500 years ago.
It is called Egg tempera because you use
an egg yolk as the binding medium for the pigment. You can grind up all kinds of things to make colors.

There's endless uses for eggs. They really are amazing
Your welcome good to bring new skills to the table
Nice video, please I ouw to remind that this Technik is more older than 500 years! We have a lot of examples in byzantine museums which Ikons are been painted with egg tempera since 10th century! That is why we respect and still believe in this technique because it lasts for many centuries. Of course depends on the right wood panel, the preparation of the wood and the varnish!
I’m a fine arts grad, 2 years out of school and working as a digital illustrator. I’ve been so cut off from fine arts since graduating, I’d love to give this a try!
I'm not even gonna make this, but I love it! Totally love the process!
Do you have a video showing your process for grinding? I’m a painter and recent college grad and I’m researching methods for making my own paint. Thanks!
Egg Tempera: PVC (Pigment Volume Concentration) is 1:1 - the volume of pigment is the same as the volume of egg yolk. The water you add to thin it down (remember that the water evaporates off and is not included in the PVC) can be between 1 and 10, depending upon what you are doing - you can add water as needed to stop it drying before it is applied but it is not counted in the PVC so, for your Egg:Water:Pigment, it should be 1:1:1.
Some pigments do react with acid - lapis/ultramarine decolourises with acid for example but one drop of a weak acid like vinegar should be okay.
The surface used is quarter sawn oak that has been sanded flat, then a number of coats of gesso are applied and when dry, they are scraped flat with a scraper. Never sanded. With sanding, pieces of grit fall away from the surface of the sand paper and get trapped between the sand paper and the surface you are going to paint on and leave little grooves. Using a scraper eliminates this problem and make a mirror-like surface which is really nice to paint on. The gesso should be gelatine-based so that you can do water gilding if you want, or, if you want to use an acacia-based gesso, you can use a water-based gum size that you can then breathe on to make it sticky - gold leaf will stick to that easily (silver leaf does as well and if you want to avoid metal surface oxidation leading to discolourisation, you can use palladium leaf.
Quarter sawn oak is used because it doesn't warp anything like the cross-cut wood that the Italians used decades later in the southern renaissance - a lesson they never learned from the Flemish.
Fine examples are to be found in the National Gallery in London.
Egg tempera is an excellent medium that does not yellow over time and if you paint it on a surface that is dimensionally stable, it will last for at least 1,500 years.
It is nice to see stuff like this demonstrated - keep up the good work.
A lot of good info thank you so much
very interesting. and the fact you create the actual pigment is very interesting
It’s a passion of mine to source local pigments I use in my paintings
pretty cool
Thank you very much!
This is amaaaazing
Thank you for this helpful video. It would be helpful to know what you ground up for the ochre, once again.
Detailed and very clear demonstration of how to prepare egg tempera ( you might skip the first part demonstrating that old yolks are not working as good as fresh) - thank you for sharing this beautifull technique in detail
It's important to show that fresh is best as so many people don't know that fact . I try to cover all points
I was talking to a friend that I heard from my art Professor that tempera paint is egg yolk based, but she had an interesting question I never thought to ask:
Eggs tend to go bad after a while, does this kind of medium ever rot/go bad after the painting is dry? Or do the binders and other mediums added to the yolk, apart from the pigment somehow preserve it? (Like the way formaldehyde preserves cold ceramic, which is made from flour?)
I don't know if that question made sense, but I'm very curious. I really love learning about classic painting techniques, and became interested in this subject. :3
Egg tempura is as old as the hills and paintings exsist since before the 16th century. The process is pigment and water is mixed to a paste the egg yoke is added as a binder. Its important to paint only in thin layers or the paint will crack and peel away. And it has to be painted on wood not canvas as if it not on a solid substrate it will crack.
Egg tempura oxidizes and when dry is has hard as rock. It will smell for a short period intil the sulfer (smell) goes it's then glazed with a form of varnish to seal the painting . I have added a link to a video for you

thanks for that teaching. I need to use paints like that in my college work. But about the failed yolk and the white part, couldn't you use them for something else? Cooking for example
sir u r amazing love to watch ur vedioes always very informative.i heard about using eggs today i saw in this vedio. thanks alot sir
Thank you 😊
Are the tempura paint you get at craft stores archival too? Is there a way to prevent cracks and flaking?
Hi! Can the egg yolk be saved somehow? Love your videos.
I've seen people use clove essential oil to keep it from going bad..same idea as using the vinegar?
Nice video!!! Also I like your accent 😁
Must it be distilled malt vinegar, or can it be distilled white vinegar? I can't find malt vinegar.
Would it work if i used pure sulfur instead of egg yolk?
Clive another great lesson on paint making. I put this in my playlist. This is such important information you are sharing thanks for taking the time to show these tequniqus. This is not a lost art because you are making sure it is shared to the world. One question are the eggs at room temperature? Thanks again Clive. 🎨👍👍🇨🇦
The best way to keep eggs is room temperature not in the fridge that’s what I have been told also the fresher the better
Distilled White Malt Vinegar? Never heard of this before!
Get it in any store white Vinegar
They used the shells to hold the small amounts of paint they would mix since it dries so quickly
Also they used to store oil paint on mussel shells
💯💯💯
Is there a bad smell after your painting has dried? I ask because when eggs dry, they have a distinct smell.
Eggs have been used for 100s of years the use of the yoke in tempura and whites in glair as used in illuminations after about 7 to 14 days it drakes to a hard film as far as smell not to my knowledge it won’t
what is the purpose of the vinegar? Also how long will the yolk in the cup remain usable?
Vinigar helps to prevent mold in the pigment and it will keep for approximately 24 hrs always best to mix fresh
Should you use only powder pigment
Pigment is only in power form
Powder
Now I understand why tempera paintings hardly have blending. I can't imagine working with multiple colors when it dries so quickly.
I’d never try this too much for me
That’s ok but it’s good to keep the old methods alive
CLIVE5ART That’s so very true, I always tell my grandchildren that
All you need is an egg, some pigment and some vinegar or water or white wine.
I’ve made tempera paint like this and it works a treat!
It’s faster if you use your fingers rather than the shell.
To be honest I don’t like the feel of eggs
Mr. Bean brought me here.
People eat that "gross" thing, btw
