Man, remember just a year or two ago when Jazza was so close to falling into a content farm, trend chasing wormhole and now he's sprung right back to making actually interesting videos about art mediums and the artistic process. 10/10.
@@robert2690 jazza got really clickbaity, was making mediocre content and releasing it more often than he currently does- essentially he was chasing views and watch time but not putting out good content and it took a massive knock to his mental health trying to keep up with it- started disliking what he was doing and what he had become and was ready for leaving youtube for a hot minute... He took some time to re-evaluate and return to who he is at his core and now we have videos like this; authenticity, fun, creativity, education, and passion for the craft 💫✌🏼🎨
I think it's a phase most long time youtubers go through. When youtubers I follow go through that, I just turn off notifications but never unsub. Sooner or later they'll get out of it and I'll be right back watching their new content.
This is a really cool medium! For future reference though, I have a slightly different recipe you can try: - 2 eggs - 1/2 cup flour - 1/2 cup butter - 1/4 cup sugar - 1 cup cocoa powder - 1 tsp vanilla If you do it right it can make some *really* delicious brownies, that should be a nice snack while you prepare your egg paint! :)
Don't mind me stealing this little gem. Don't worry, I put your username in my little composition book where I write down recipes. :) coryman125 will go down in my family's culinary history.
@@rubyophidian6004 I can't take all the credit! Actually this recipe was one of the first results I found with a search, but it worked very well. You'll wanna melt the butter + sugar + cocoa with a pinch of salt either carefully in the microwave or a double boiler, then add the eggs one at a time after it cools, then the flour. But if you do try it, enjoy!
@@boom-jr8vi it's my medium of choice!! Brownie batter everyday! It serves two functions! My canvas, and my belly are happy! Edit: I'm afraid you'll think I'm serious. Loll.. it is definitely a joke!
Working with Eggtempera is really fun. Maybe you want to try the Recipe I learned from my Art teacher: 1 part egg 1 part linseed oil 1 part water Colour pigments a few drops of clove oil for preservation The consistency is much better than pure egg yolk and does not dry quite as quickly. EDIT: We also uses only the egg to measure the components. Carefully open the egg and put the contents into a container. Then measure out the water and oil in the egg one by one and add them to the egg in the container.
Back in the '80s I was dating a man who was the head of an art Department of a certain College and we decided to use totally natural paints. We also used egg yolk but we mixed it with things like wildflowers and dried vegetables. We came up with the most brilliant colors that I had ever seen.
That’s really shocking to me because older paintings have always been fairly dull just due to how hard it was to find vibrant colors or even some colors at all. I guess the price and processing methods have improved a ton from then.
@@monhi64 From what I understand the many of the older painting may look dull now but originally they were very vibrant. Besides time there are 3 major factors that contribute dirt, light and humidity. A fine layer of dirt will naturally adhere to the artwork and cleaning it obviously takes a restorer but they will never be able to get it back to 100% clean. Secondly we all know that anything that gets touched by sunlight will fade over time, this is why museums have completely enclosed rooms with very special lighting to help preserve the artwork for as long as possible. How humid or dry the environment the painting spent it's life also contributes to color fade as well as cracking, this is another thing that museums also monitor very closely these days.
I think it’s always clear when Jazza is loving a new medium he’s trying out. It comes out in the finished projects because these pieces are *chef’s kiss*.

The egg yolk is actually really awesome! When I was a younger, I used to do strange experiments, and one of them was to use an egg yolk to paint in the concrete wall (that was like 9 years ago), and to this day, that painting is still there, but it only reveals when the wall gets wet. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language 😅
@@lacytaylor1501 ..man I was sitting here imagining a really eccentric hipster artist that hangs around jazzas local art shop, who of course is very experienced in making his own paint with egg yolks. I feel dumb as hell now.
Jazza, I appreciate the tonal shift of your more recent videos away from "Jazza the STAR!" back to "Jazza the artist exploring new techniques and mediums while having some fun". Thanks.
Loved this. Wish you would have gone in the actual history just a tiny bit more, like up to what time period was this paint used, what are some of the earliest examples of surviving paintings that used these types of paints. I know this is not a history channel, but I love it when I get to learn more while being entertained. Keep up the great work
I agree that a few more tidbits about the medium would've been interesting. Wouldn't have had to be a lot, just sprinkled in a few more interesting facts, and not just the fun stuff :)
I don't know when tempera started, but it was the main medium until oil painting was invented in the Flemish/Northern Renaissance (not in italy). It took a while for oil to become popular in Italy, which is why most Italian Renaissance paintings have more muted, natural colors. The egg dulls the paint down. Oil painting revolutionized color by mixing the pigment in a clear oil. This allowed the colors to shine through and get very bold and beautiful, with the white canvas reflecting the light through the color. Most surviving murals were made with tempera paint! The egg really stuck to the walls well and *bonded the paint to them. They also absorbed a lot, so they had to make a whole lot. (*not actually chemically bonded).
Khan academy (which is free) has a lot of info on it scattered through their videos in the "Creating and Conserving" section. It's my favorite section on the website, and I think most people would like it.
Egg tempera is a surprisingly stabile medium and there are works executed in egg tempera that have stood the test of time in most of the most renowned museums.
can we take a minute to acknowledge how insanely talented people like Jazza are? He picks up a new medium of art(usually one thats kinda silly) and creates a genuinely interesting and cool peice of art in the span of a couple days including setup and filming and everything. LIKE WHAT THE HECK??? So cool. Great work man!
is this talent? or years of serious practice^^ not saying he is not amazing but that kind of denies that artists have to work quite some to get as good as they are :D
@@noctilucera7585 I don't really believe in 'natural born talent' and sort of forget that the general definition is that. Yeah you're totally right, it's lots and lots and lots of practice and it's incredible!! :)
I'd love to see you try to emulate the styles of Renaissance paintings. Analyze how they use light, colors and brush strokes etc, and then try to replicate it with original pieces.
I love the vibe of the recent videos. They're fun but also kinda chill and informative. Easy to put on and vibe with the laid back and passionate vibe.
I really wish I had Jazza back when I was studying art. Just the love of making art no matter what the form is something I wish my teachers had encouraged.
The thumbnail reminded me of how I use seashells for a portable watercolor palette. Unlike metal or plastic, mixing paint on its surface feels nicer, and the water doesn't tend to clump together on it. I used part of a razor clam shell, which unfortunately snapped, but I also had a half of a broken clam shell which could still accommodate the paint along the inner shell's edge, and a bit of water in the shallow dip itself.
Me: "Oh man, I ran out of paint. How am I even going to finish this piece?" Danny DeVito suddenly appearing behind me: "How about a nice egg in this trying time?"
In Icon painting, to mix colours, we use purified water and the dry pigments and mix them together to achieve the new colour, then set it aside to dry and once it's back in powder format, mix it in the egg emollient. For our egg emollient we use one part water, one part vinegar, or instead of vinegar for preservation, we can use vodka and some times other iconographic may use wine. I've found vodka vs vinegar gives the pigment more brilliance. Great work you! This was fun.
I paint byzantine icons and use egg tempera a lot. The recipe i use is : 1 part egg yolk 1 part water A few drops of vinegar for preservation. I keep the emulsion in a sealed jar in the fridge. It can last for over a month.
Cool Video, Jazza, I am an orthodox icon painter. Orthodox iconography was one of the first art schools to use this medium. We mix it one part egg, one part water, and sometimes vinegar or wine to preserve it. It does dry too quickly to blend so we have to blend using very fine brushstrokes with three and sometimes five blending colors
Am I the only one who noticed that Jazza has six fingers in the final product, or am I seeing things? Also it is so impressive how Jazza can always make great art from any medium that the internet can throw at him.
Pretty sure he's in Melbourne, so a fair drive to the bush. If you ARE interested though, Jack Absalom was a great painter of remote Australia - and also one of the most iconic Australians to ever live. He wrote the first guides on how to travel the outback, and was one of the first people to make kangaroo hunting a commercial business.
This brought back some memories… Our teacher in middle school made us make paint with eggs and then paint with it. Smelly and had insects on it later lol
If you add linseed oil and water the smell goes away and a few drops of clove oil (or any other insect repellent essential oil) to preserve it from insects and such, even after it dried
You’re videos have really brought me out of my artistic shell and got me to try new things. I’ve been great at drawing my whole life but could never commit to spending the money on supplies to start painting. I finally started painting a month ago and I sold my first 2 paintings today. Thanks man, you kind of changed my life.
Loving the new tone to the videos. I feel like you could enjoy doing an En Plein Air series, head out to the coast and paint for a month or two! Drawing, painting, whatever. In whatever style you want, cartoon, Bob Ross, impressionist, etc. Alternatively, a series of works in a museum, copying the masters as it were. Again, in whatever style. I'm 100% sure that Australia has plenty of places like this, of course I would be happy to host you in Cleveland, one of America's best art Museums and Lake Erie is stunning at sunset
Hi jazza! Hope you are having a good day! I used to watch your videos so so much and they really inspired me, so thank you! The art is stunning, oh my goodness
This was one of my favorites youve done. It's fun to watch you try a more realistic approach, and the result was pretty epic. It looked so effortless i almost believed i could do it haha good job
I actually learned about making paint out of eggs and pigment in school. We had a whole class dedicated to it. It was really fun, I painted a burger lol
Hey Jazza! When I was younger, there was a history book series that included some little experiments & projects; to do watercolour paint in the Chinese/ Japanese style- I had to get used to holding the brush fully upright: *not easy* when you’re so used to holding your brush on an angle - another one I remember, was inspired by the segment on Knossos/ the Cretan civilisation; frescoes- painting on damp plaster (like the tempera, it’s a technique that engenders longevity) - & of course the other one I recall, was a mosaic... **I would **_love_** to see you try any of these**
All of jazza's art pieces and sculpting works are all amazing, I absolutely loved the last painting in this video, honestly think jazza is the youtube equivelent of Art Attack from back in the day but even better!
Another way of using it is using a fine brush (I used to use a 00000), and paint thin lines touching each other. You end up with an almost velvety texture, quite different from the flatter cross-hatching technique. Gotta be pretty patient though, and you really don’t want to covering large areas.
I love it when Jazza explores new-to-him mediums!! It's always incredibly inspiring and contagious with its curiosity and enthusiasm. Especially those ancient mediums. Such fun!
I discovered the egg tempura technique when working on my art project a few months ago, but I don't have many art supplies so I just mixed it with acrylic paint to see what would happen. It's interesting to see how it's actually meant to be done lol
That was so interesting. Loved the dramatic music accompanying the process. I do have 2 questions. Does the egg have a smell at all when making, using or later when dried? Also what kinds of things would they have been making pigment out of? Perhaps a video on historically accurate pigment making?
Red definitely would have been carmine, which is crushed beetles. Black would typically be soot/ash/charcoal. Many colors were taken from flowers and plants. Color availability did depend on location/money, so how one artist made a color could be different from another artist.
This video is everything I love about Jazza’s channel! Silly jokes, little role play details like the poofy shirts, the joy and enthusiasm that inspires me to make art, showing the dabble process which helps the viewer avoid any pitfalls if they want to try it, the willingness to step outside of your comfort zone and try a style you’re less confident in. 10/10 video, Jazza! Also even though it didn’t happen in this video I also appreciate the honest frustration when something isn’t working or when when you “overdo it” and mess up. It helps me feel like I’m not a dumdum for struggling! I’m embarrassed to show anything less than perfect, and your willingness to show mistakes really inspires me to be kinder to myself and my own art. Thank you so much for sparking the creative flame in the rest of us. You’re the man!!
A hack for getting brighter colours without the yellow undertone: use the eggwhite and add flaxseed oil to it. That's what I was taught in a traditional paint class when learning about paints, alongside the yolk version. Also tried watered down bone glue, and old beer. Some funky results from that last one, but all very legit ways to paint in ye olden days.
This is the first I'm ever hearing of this medium and i can only imagine how the art would smell after a few days. Worth it, because of how sick it turned out!
Love the art work and your content! I just cant unsee what I think is miscounted digits on one of the hands you painted. Is it just me? Please correct me. Legitimately and Im so sorry if this came off as offensive to you or any viewers. I seriously enjoy your work! Keep having fun with it!
Yeah he actually did paint 6 fingers 🤷🏻♂️ But I feel like it might’ve been supposed to be just the fat of the hand being squished that way when holding something and the lighting making it look weird like that
This painting is so beautiful. I don't know what it is about this video, but this is definitely one of my favourite Jazza experiments. Would love to see more realistic paintings!
i'm sure someone can answer this question here: why is Jazza always using ultramarine and fire-y red pigments, not cyan and magenta? i feel like the greens and purples he mixes could be a lot clearer if he used those
I think said in the primary colour video that he always thought of red, blue, yellow as the primaries. So it would make sense if he's used to working with those.
Well yes he'd likely get better blending for the most part with cmyk, but it's really up to the artist if they want cmyk or ryb for mixing, and also ryb's inherently darker mixing scheme does actually give some advantages like more "natural" esque purples and grays and browns and what not so that's probably another reason
"humble art studio" which is bigger then my living room XD This looks cool to try, awesome video Jazza! (I wonder if the painting smells like eggs a little)
I had a friend who was into oil painting and he explained the process to me as he was attempting to do it himself. It made sense in the end. It was so cool to watch jazza play with the proccess
I dunno what it is, but I really really like the end result! Obviously I've seen you paint before and I like those too but this... It's just something extra special. 🥚
The final piece was phenomenal.. I loved the semi realistic style. I really hope they hang that up in the studio somewhere so we can see it again in the background of vlogs sometimes.
Honestly no other way to say this- but when you revealed the finished piece, I did nearly cry 😅. IT IS AN AMAZING ARTWORK AND JUST IMAGINING HOW IT COULD BE AROUND FOR AGES, ALSO, (how your kids could have it and say that they are proud of their dad and what he could do, as they show this sort of thing saying that this is what he looked like, but its one of your artworks in the process) Jazza you are amazing and you under-praise yourself all the time, You really can paint amazingly!!! (sorry that I got deep with this one!) I just have a strong connection to these videos for some reason!
When I was a kid, I had this old craft book that recommended I paint the crafts with egg tempera paint. I didn't do some of them because I didn't even know what that was or how to get it, and I thought I had to use specifically the egg paint, haha! Nice to finally learn what the heck that book was talking about.
I thing i hate about Jazza is he is so addicting to watch. One moment its 8 in the morning the next it’s 12 and i have been watching him ever since i woke up. Loved the video! Your artwork always inspires me. Great job!!
Hey Jazza, maybe you could try painting or sculpting leather, I think that's going to be a new and interesting medium for you! Maybe even try out marbled leather? 🤔
I wanna see 3D painting with sculpy polymer clay next 🥺 This was so cool to watch especially after just doing an Italian renaissance art history course and learning a lot about the art styles and the egg tempera. Thanks for the video!
Jazza I really have to say, despite the necessary occasional curtsy to the algorithm, your channel is still to this day one of my favs. You really are an artist and should be proud of yourself. Your ability not only to turn out amazing project after amazing project in terms of end results as a standalone piece of art, but your ability to so quickly adapt to new mediums and to express your own style through them constantly amazes me. Great job! Keep it up and thank you for continuing to share with us 🙏
It is called “velatura” veil is a technique used to make icon, painters they use eggs and rabbit glue and natural pigments. I’m Italian your accent … this procedure is very well used in conservatory job
That is fantastic. I knew they used eggs but never thought it would look that good. I don't think I'll use egg paint but I do admire you taking on the task and making a very good self portrait. 😁😁💖💖👋👋
This video was so fun! What i love the most about egg tempera is the satin finish. Its not super shiny neither matte like gouache. Its almost rubbery. Love your painting
I find it interesting how much you enjoyed this process. My one experience with egg tempera…. Ugh. The quick drying nature drive me insane. But I had not heard about using vinegar to slow down drying time, so that clearly makes a big difference.
Milk paint might be an interesting follow up to this video sense there both some of the oldest painting mediums. Some of the recipes are: 1/2 cup milk powder,1 teaspoon of pigment, a dash calcium hydroxide and two tablespoons of water. Or by mixing milk protein (casein) lime, clay and earth pigments such as ochre,umber, iron oxide, lampback, etc. Plus a few other recipes.
Can't wait to try this. I always thought back then they'd use different flowers and crush them up for a watermelon colour type of thing. Enjoyed the video as always💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

What is normally used to make pigment?
Ah the age old question - What came First..?
The paint or The Egg?
definatly the paint, how else would you paint the egg?
The chicken
That's easy the paint! Wait the egg, no maybe the paint, no no it's the...egg, nevermind I don't know.

It does dry too quickly to blend so we have to blend using very fine brushstrokes with three and sometimes five blending colors

I think you’re right lol
There are definitely six fingers. This video has inspired me to give eggtempera a crack.
Nope he definitely has six fingers!
Nope, you are not seeing things
I didn't expect that when Jazza said he is not good at realism 😂
I think the "Pinky" is meant to be a highlight on his palm he just didn't accent the bottom of the actual last finger enough
I would like to see Jazza paint a landscape outside. Let’s see some Australia!
lets get this comment to the top, I wanna see this too.

This brought back some memories… Our teacher in middle school made us make paint with eggs and then paint with it. Smelly and had insects on it later lol
Makes me wonder how Jazza’s portrait is going to look like in the next couple of weeks
lol
If you add linseed oil and water the smell goes away and a few drops of clove oil (or any other insect repellent essential oil) to preserve it from insects and such, even after it dried
Oh god, I'll never forget the smell when we did it back in elementary school
@@mortytillman69 That's what I was worried about this whole time...
You’re videos have really brought me out of my artistic shell and got me to try new things. I’ve been great at drawing my whole life but could never commit to spending the money on supplies to start painting. I finally started painting a month ago and I sold my first 2 paintings today. Thanks man, you kind of changed my life.
I love when Jazza goes full classic art mode. So versatile. Respect.
I’m so glad to see Jazza enjoying the process and results so much. Really warms my heart. and most importantly “EGG”
Keep it going Jazza
As a part Italian I feel personally offended by this intro 😂 Just kidding but seriously, great job with this piece! You never cease to amaze
as an italian the accent was pretty bad, but totaly hilarious! XD
You only get to feel part offended lol
Loving the new tone to the videos.
I feel like you could enjoy doing an En Plein Air series, head out to the coast and paint for a month or two! Drawing, painting, whatever. In whatever style you want, cartoon, Bob Ross, impressionist, etc.
Alternatively, a series of works in a museum, copying the masters as it were. Again, in whatever style.
I'm 100% sure that Australia has plenty of places like this, of course I would be happy to host you in Cleveland, one of America's best art Museums and Lake Erie is stunning at sunset
Hi jazza! Hope you are having a good day! I used to watch your videos so so much and they really inspired me, so thank you! The art is stunning, oh my goodness
This was one of my favorites youve done. It's fun to watch you try a more realistic approach, and the result was pretty epic. It looked so effortless i almost believed i could do it haha good job
I actually learned about making paint out of eggs and pigment in school. We had a whole class dedicated to it. It was really fun, I painted a burger lol
Hey Jazza!
When I was younger, there was a history book series that included some little experiments & projects; to do watercolour paint in the Chinese/ Japanese style- I had to get used to holding the brush fully upright: *not easy* when you’re so used to holding your brush on an angle - another one I remember, was inspired by the segment on Knossos/ the Cretan civilisation; frescoes- painting on damp plaster (like the tempera, it’s a technique that engenders longevity) - & of course the other one I recall, was a mosaic... **I would **_love_** to see you try any of these**
All of jazza's art pieces and sculpting works are all amazing, I absolutely loved the last painting in this video, honestly think jazza is the youtube equivelent of Art Attack from back in the day but even better!
😆 5 fingers and a thumb on the left hand. Love it. 😆
Jazza, French jazza, and senior jazzachi. The trilogy we all needed.
You are the dorkest dork ever and I love it. You prove that everyone can have fun being just who you are!! Thanks!!
Another way of using it is using a fine brush (I used to use a 00000), and paint thin lines touching each other. You end up with an almost velvety texture, quite different from the flatter cross-hatching technique. Gotta be pretty patient though, and you really don’t want to covering large areas.
I love it when Jazza explores new-to-him mediums!! It's always incredibly inspiring and contagious with its curiosity and enthusiasm. Especially those ancient mediums. Such fun!
I discovered the egg tempura technique when working on my art project a few months ago, but I don't have many art supplies so I just mixed it with acrylic paint to see what would happen. It's interesting to see how it's actually meant to be done lol
Adding the blue the the white to offset the yellow was just 😙🤌 *chefs kiss!!*
That was so interesting. Loved the dramatic music accompanying the process. I do have 2 questions. Does the egg have a smell at all when making, using or later when dried? Also what kinds of things would they have been making pigment out of? Perhaps a video on historically accurate pigment making?
Red definitely would have been carmine, which is crushed beetles. Black would typically be soot/ash/charcoal. Many colors were taken from flowers and plants. Color availability did depend on location/money, so how one artist made a color could be different from another artist.
This video is everything I love about Jazza’s channel! Silly jokes, little role play details like the poofy shirts, the joy and enthusiasm that inspires me to make art, showing the dabble process which helps the viewer avoid any pitfalls if they want to try it, the willingness to step outside of your comfort zone and try a style you’re less confident in. 10/10 video, Jazza!
Also even though it didn’t happen in this video I also appreciate the honest frustration when something isn’t working or when when you “overdo it” and mess up. It helps me feel like I’m not a dumdum for struggling! I’m embarrassed to show anything less than perfect, and your willingness to show mistakes really inspires me to be kinder to myself and my own art.
Thank you so much for sparking the creative flame in the rest of us. You’re the man!!
I love the final piece! It's even more inspiring when Jazza has a fun time creating!
I love the exploration of traditional art. Always fun to go back and rediscover all the different ways we've made art
Nice art jazza keep it going
Oooh I wanna see more of these types of videos. How paint and pigments we're made...
A hack for getting brighter colours without the yellow undertone: use the eggwhite and add flaxseed oil to it. That's what I was taught in a traditional paint class when learning about paints, alongside the yolk version. Also tried watered down bone glue, and old beer. Some funky results from that last one, but all very legit ways to paint in ye olden days.
This is the first I'm ever hearing of this medium and i can only imagine how the art would smell after a few days. Worth it, because of how sick it turned out!
Omfg!!! I adore him! He never runs out of ideas for creative content!! This is amazing!! Thanks for being a beacon in this world!!
Amazing painting and great video!
Really trying to hold back making a Princess Bride reference over the 6 fingers on your Jazza's left hand. 😁
Love the art work and your content! I just cant unsee what I think is miscounted digits on one of the hands you painted. Is it just me? Please correct me. Legitimately and Im so sorry if this came off as offensive to you or any viewers. I seriously enjoy your work! Keep having fun with it!
6 fingers...it's a bit of an easter egg ;)
Yeah he actually did paint 6 fingers 🤷🏻♂️
But I feel like it might’ve been supposed to be just the fat of the hand being squished that way when holding something and the lighting making it look weird like that
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
This painting is so beautiful. I don't know what it is about this video, but this is definitely one of my favourite Jazza experiments. Would love to see more realistic paintings!
Isn’t this how Mel from Arcane makes her paint
i think so!
I just wanted to say im really enjoying your new videos. I'll continue to watch them. Your piece is beautiful!!
i'm sure someone can answer this question here: why is Jazza always using ultramarine and fire-y red pigments, not cyan and magenta? i feel like the greens and purples he mixes could be a lot clearer if he used those
I’m not a professional artist but I believe cyan and magenta are only used for digital art and printers?
I think said in the primary colour video that he always thought of red, blue, yellow as the primaries. So it would make sense if he's used to working with those.
Well yes he'd likely get better blending for the most part with cmyk, but it's really up to the artist if they want cmyk or ryb for mixing, and also ryb's inherently darker mixing scheme does actually give some advantages like more "natural" esque purples and grays and browns and what not so that's probably another reason
I really like the edge lighting on the portrate. I would also like to see how they used to preserve a painting like this. 👍
"humble art studio" which is bigger then my living room XD
This looks cool to try, awesome video Jazza!
(I wonder if the painting smells like eggs a little)
That portrait is actually the best I’ve seen you do
It’s one of the most beautiful thing you have made over the years !!! You should try painting from differents eras ! 😍
Now this is the content that got me interested years ago. Awesome job. The authentic enjoyment of a weird topic is the draw.
I think the green is spot on for "color match". Awesome job 👌👍.
I love the paintings they look so good, especially loving the self portrait 🥰😍 EGG
I had a friend who was into oil painting and he explained the process to me as he was attempting to do it himself. It made sense in the end. It was so cool to watch jazza play with the proccess
I dunno what it is, but I really really like the end result! Obviously I've seen you paint before and I like those too but this... It's just something extra special. 🥚
The final piece was phenomenal.. I loved the semi realistic style. I really hope they hang that up in the studio somewhere so we can see it again in the background of vlogs sometimes.
Man, the best Jazza vids are the ones that inspire you to dig deeper and improve your art because Jazza can paint a beautiful portrait with eggs.
Honestly no other way to say this- but when you revealed the finished piece, I did nearly cry 😅. IT IS AN AMAZING ARTWORK AND JUST IMAGINING HOW IT COULD BE AROUND FOR AGES, ALSO, (how your kids could have it and say that they are proud of their dad and what he could do, as they show this sort of thing saying that this is what he looked like, but its one of your artworks in the process) Jazza you are amazing and you under-praise yourself all the time, You really can paint amazingly!!! (sorry that I got deep with this one!) I just have a strong connection to these videos for some reason!
I want to try making egg tempera myself. Also, Jazza should continue practicing painting naturalistically. That painting had a strong foundation
Piece is GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS!
BUT ONCE I SAW THE NOSE I COULDN'T STOP STARING AT IT-
When I was a kid, I had this old craft book that recommended I paint the crafts with egg tempera paint. I didn't do some of them because I didn't even know what that was or how to get it, and I thought I had to use specifically the egg paint, haha! Nice to finally learn what the heck that book was talking about.
I thing i hate about Jazza is he is so addicting to watch. One moment its 8 in the morning the next it’s 12 and i have been watching him ever since i woke up. Loved the video! Your artwork always inspires me. Great job!!
I love this video! And it's really nice to see you get excited about painting.
How about making your own paper next?
So great to see some real authentic work and an attempt at realism! I love when you take your process really seriously from time to time :)
hey jazza I think you should do more compotisions for art. I love to see your reaction in the past where you did art comps
7:11
A beautiful, italian landscape.
11:45
*dood looking at an egg*
Hey Jazza, maybe you could try painting or sculpting leather, I think that's going to be a new and interesting medium for you! Maybe even try out marbled leather? 🤔
I love the background color of the self portrait!
Beautiful. Everything. We love seeing you do you Jazza.
Thanks for covering this, i have always wondered what egg tempura looks like. Thanks!
Jazza is a wonderful, professional artist who makes me feel good about myself and all of my mess ups. Them hands!!! 6 fingers, what??? Dang....
He made six fingers in the panting
Jazza is a new-age old master with his very productive self-portrait. ❤ A very enjoyable episode! Thanx Jazza. ✨
I’ve never heard of egg tempera before, and I’m blown away what an amazing medium it is.
Jazza, what a great portrait of yourself! Egg 🥚 and pigment, who would have thought it? 🤔 Awesome!
I wanna see 3D painting with sculpy polymer clay next 🥺 This was so cool to watch especially after just doing an Italian renaissance art history course and learning a lot about the art styles and the egg tempera. Thanks for the video!
Jazza I really have to say, despite the necessary occasional curtsy to the algorithm, your channel is still to this day one of my favs.
You really are an artist and should be proud of yourself.
Your ability not only to turn out amazing project after amazing project in terms of end results as a standalone piece of art, but your ability to so quickly adapt to new mediums and to express your own style through them constantly amazes me.
Great job! Keep it up and thank you for continuing to share with us 🙏
In that self portrait you look like a MASTER of art. It's just so epic
I made this stuff when I was a kid!!! You took me down memory lane.
It is called “velatura” veil is a technique used to make icon, painters they use eggs and rabbit glue and natural pigments. I’m Italian your accent … this procedure is very well used in conservatory job
That is fantastic. I knew they used eggs but never thought it would look that good. I don't think I'll use egg paint but I do admire you taking on the task and making a very good self portrait. 😁😁💖💖👋👋
This video was so fun! What i love the most about egg tempera is the satin finish. Its not super shiny neither matte like gouache. Its almost rubbery. Love your painting
I find it interesting how much you enjoyed this process. My one experience with egg tempera…. Ugh. The quick drying nature drive me insane. But I had not heard about using vinegar to slow down drying time, so that clearly makes a big difference.
This was fun! I hope you frame that final piece in a proper Renaissance style frame.
We did this as a homeschool science/art project a few years ago. I will admit ours did not come out so beautifully, but it really was fun!
Milk paint might be an interesting follow up to this video sense there both some of the oldest painting mediums. Some of the recipes are: 1/2 cup milk powder,1 teaspoon of pigment, a dash calcium hydroxide and two tablespoons of water. Or by mixing milk protein (casein) lime, clay and earth pigments such as ochre,umber, iron oxide, lampback, etc. Plus a few other recipes.
Can't wait to try this. I always thought back then they'd use different flowers and crush them up for a watermelon colour type of thing. Enjoyed the video as always💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Casein painting is something you might want to try. It dates back to early Roman frescos.
