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.
@@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.
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 😅
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.

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.
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?"
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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**
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!!
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.
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
My art professor in college made us make this paint because ancient Egyptians used it and we were learning their art style and history. U need some vinegar with the pigment to get rid of the egg smell and u can water it down with water, it's used as gouache or water colors.
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.
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. 🥚
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!
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 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'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)
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 clicked so fast! There’s a sweet picture book I read as a kid and now own called “Marguerite Makes a Book” written by an art history professor. It details in a fun way what went into an illuminated manuscript. It has a whole fold out section on making the colors, though he writes about using the egg white. If you guys want a beautifully illustrated book about art for your boys and girls, I highly recommend it.
Cave Painting next! Find some Ochre, find a cave, and go prehistoric! I think it'd be a great exploration of Art as a Human Heritage; especially if you could work with a paleontologist/archeologist.
egg tempera can be made using artists tube watercolor (not those with honey in them) that has a stiff paste consistency, not a gooey consistency from the tube and mix with the egg yolk.
Yeah. We do that all the time in those problem solving games whenever the game wants you to paint something and you have to somehow make your own paints from scratches
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!
For anyone who is into art history, when you look back at old Italian Renaissance paintings, the colors are a bit muted and more 'natural'. The tempera keeps the colors from getting too bold/saturated. But, if you look at the Northern Renaissance, they started oil painting! The colors are really bold and bright because the oil was a clear medium that allowed layers of paint to shine through each other. They also continued with the Gothic style and symbolism for a while, so the works were less focused on realism. Check out The Arnolfini Marriage by Jan Van Eyck as an example
TRY THIS!! Man one time as an art project I did this gum Arabic print transfer thing.. And its cool cause you draw on this piece of limestone with charcoal.. Then you lather in gum Arabic and maybe something else, then we had this device to press paper down onto the limestone.. This transfers your charcoal image to the paper.. So anything you draw will be mirrored..! Idk what machine you need to press it! But try and look into it! Its a really cool experience
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. 😁😁💖💖👋👋
I'm amazed that the yellow of the yokes had such a little effect on the pigment! Makes me wonder how a high carotenoid (pigment in yoke) egg yoke will fair.
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!
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 🙏
I would love a video that explores the different limitations and wonderful properties of the different paint mediums as in oils, acrylics and gouache paints. I would love to know which paint type is good/bad for what uses. I would also be interested to see how the egg yolk would go mixed with Aussie ochre (rock paint, not sure on correct spelling sorry and happy to be told how to spell it by others) to make a painting in the style of Pro Hart.
If that painting doesn't end up hung up in the front room of the new Jazza Studios building for everyone to see, I will be disappointed lol those were really good. Thank you for the video, now I have an art project for my kids. Just have to figure out different types of pigments we can use because I don't have the money for actual ones or pastels and such.
They made us do this in art school 😅the paint you made will last about two days in a fridge before it goes bad... fun times though! A good tip is to use distilled water
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.
I'll have to try that thanks for the recipe!
We just used pine-sol in college for preservation . 🤔
If you add oil to egg that's mayonnaise tempera
@@shadyb and thats how a sandwhich artist is born.
Adding oil wouldn't it push it more to an oil paint? Although I did actually think about why not add Linseed oil extra fat to the yolk 🤣🤣.

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.
That’s easy. The egg. Dinosaurs were laying eggs millions of years before the paint.. I mean the chicken.
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.

How to Basic would approve of this method
He make 6 fingers in the painting
Been on a Always Sunny re-watch binge, just watched that episode, then stumbled on this video and came looking for this comment. Thank you.
As someone who makes my own pigment…I love this. You should try making your own paper and using that pigment on it! It’s so much fun to do
What is normally used to make pigment?
the fact that this is sponsored by Da Vinci Resolve is just perfect
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.
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.
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
Using soft pastels for the pigment was a brilliant idea, they are so vibrant and have a decent color range to experiment with
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.
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

I clicked so fast! There’s a sweet picture book I read as a kid and now own called “Marguerite Makes a Book” written by an art history professor. It details in a fun way what went into an illuminated manuscript. It has a whole fold out section on making the colors, though he writes about using the egg white. If you guys want a beautifully illustrated book about art for your boys and girls, I highly recommend it.
That self-portrait is just so stellar. Goddmn Jazza
I love the exploration of traditional art. Always fun to go back and rediscover all the different ways we've made art
The last painting just reminds of Van Gogh! Brilliant Italian artist!
The self-portrait looks really good
I love this video.. Love the final piece..
But Once you see it you cant unsee it:
the hand holding the egg has 6 fingers
Cave Painting next! Find some Ochre, find a cave, and go prehistoric! I think it'd be a great exploration of Art as a Human Heritage; especially if you could work with a paleontologist/archeologist.
You know what medium I would love to see on this channel…I want to see what Jazza can do with the classic grade school…macaroni art!
I'm seeing impressionism more than classical, but I kept seeing Van Gogh's self-portraits while you were doing yours, so, not exactly a bad thing!
this is so....... satisfying..........😊😊
this panting belongs in a museum
I really like the edge lighting on the portrate. I would also like to see how they used to preserve a painting like this. 👍
You are the dorkest dork ever and I love it. You prove that everyone can have fun being just who you are!! Thanks!!
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. 😁
egg tempera can be made using artists tube watercolor (not those with honey in them) that has a stiff paste consistency, not a gooey consistency from the tube and mix with the egg yolk.
Yeah. We do that all the time in those problem solving games whenever the game wants you to paint something and you have to somehow make your own paints from scratches
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!
One of the best piece I have ever seen. Your getting better at realism!
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 :)
The Picture in the Intro is a Masterpiece
I love this video! And it's really nice to see you get excited about painting.
How about making your own paper next?
For anyone who is into art history, when you look back at old Italian Renaissance paintings, the colors are a bit muted and more 'natural'. The tempera keeps the colors from getting too bold/saturated. But, if you look at the Northern Renaissance, they started oil painting! The colors are really bold and bright because the oil was a clear medium that allowed layers of paint to shine through each other. They also continued with the Gothic style and symbolism for a while, so the works were less focused on realism. Check out The Arnolfini Marriage by Jan Van Eyck as an example
as an italian person, your accent = chefs kiss
It’s one of the most beautiful thing you have made over the years !!! You should try painting from differents eras ! 😍
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.
TRY THIS!!
Man one time as an art project I did this gum Arabic print transfer thing.. And its cool cause you draw on this piece of limestone with charcoal.. Then you lather in gum Arabic and maybe something else, then we had this device to press paper down onto the limestone.. This transfers your charcoal image to the paper.. So anything you draw will be mirrored..! Idk what machine you need to press it! But try and look into it!
Its a really cool experience
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. 😁😁💖💖👋👋
Ohhhh my god Jazza! What an amazing piece of art 🖼! Great job!
I’m Very Impressed and Dazzled.
I'm amazed that the yellow of the yokes had such a little effect on the pigment! Makes me wonder how a high carotenoid (pigment in yoke) egg yoke will fair.
Wow today jazza relly CRACKED me up
Jazza. You are so good at art man! I like the Portrait of you with EGG! Good job!
1:30
that was sooooooooo satisfying wow
I could imagine flies and bugs getting attracted to your paintings if you used paint made out of egg.
The fact that paint made out of eggs is infinitely better than modern art
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!
Yes! I love history, these historical techniques are interesting.
Gosh, it's been a while since I watched Jazza but this was very delightful to watch 👍 subscribing once again
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 🙏
The extra finger really brought that last piece together.
This was fun! I hope you frame that final piece in a proper Renaissance style frame.
Your portrait is Amazing!!!
Cool
Jazza is a new-age old master with his very productive self-portrait. ❤ A very enjoyable episode! Thanx Jazza. ✨
In that self portrait you look like a MASTER of art. It's just so epic
I would love a video that explores the different limitations and wonderful properties of the different paint mediums as in oils, acrylics and gouache paints. I would love to know which paint type is good/bad for what uses. I would also be interested to see how the egg yolk would go mixed with Aussie ochre (rock paint, not sure on correct spelling sorry and happy to be told how to spell it by others) to make a painting in the style of Pro Hart.
I'd love to see Jazza do a Bob Ross egg tempera painting challenge of some sort.
If that painting doesn't end up hung up in the front room of the new Jazza Studios building for everyone to see, I will be disappointed lol those were really good. Thank you for the video, now I have an art project for my kids. Just have to figure out different types of pigments we can use because I don't have the money for actual ones or pastels and such.
They made us do this in art school 😅the paint you made will last about two days in a fridge before it goes bad... fun times though! A good tip is to use distilled water
