In this video I try a recipe well used and known by the old Masters where I Mix one part of egg yolk with one part of linseed oil, one part of water and some vinegar, and I wave this oily egg tempera that has these beautiful oil properties. I hope you will find this helpful and interesting, and you will experiment with it to see the results yourselves. Of course this is a study on a painting by the Great El Greco.

The gaze of her eyes lock me into her presence. I feel the face has life.
Ottima riproduzione! Riesci a catturare ogni singola pennellata di el greco. Bravissimo!
I use 1 part of egg yolk, 3 parts of white wine, 2 drops of lavender essence and 2 drops of linseed oil. My teacher taught this to dissolve the pigments, it can be kept for about 2 months by storing it in the fridge at the end of work
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing
@@PaintingtheLight thanks for your lessons very interesting!
what is lavender essence?
@@sclewi It's a natural solvent. A search for "oil of spike lavender" should bring up what you need to know about it. Very expensive for artist-grade, however.
@@sclewi I use Maimeri lavender essence, it softens the pigments and gives a delicate perfume to the emulsion. My feeling is that it calms the mind of the beholder as this is the characteristic of lavender, but it is just my thought
Amazing results! I’ve been considering oil paints for painting icons, but have never used them. I’m not sure that you realize the amazing service you are providing to the faithful and artists everywhere. Everyone that has an icon painting RUclips channel uses just egg tempera and just paints icons in one style. You show us many styles and now different painting mediums. This is so helpful to me because I do not have access to all the tools do do the egg tempera, but ready made paints in water color, acrylics and oil are available and inexpensive. It’s nice to see someone out there that isn’t on board with the tempera only club. A quick question, since you are using a blend, would the results be similar if I used just oil paints? Thank you so much for helping us become better iconographers.
Thank you so much for posting this!! It's very encouraging... Each medium has its own proprieties and cannot be mimicked...I like to experiment and trying new things and I would love it if the content I upload inspires other people to do so as well..
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us this ‘experiment’ . I found it so interesting that you found the mixture ‘heavier’ but easier to ‘blend’. It must feel rather strange to change a solution that you are so used to working with. I’m pleased to see this and might try to make this solution just for playing around but not for icons. God bless and, again, thank you for all the time you give to your followers. :)
Thank you Suku! I really enjoy trying new techniques and mediums.... I am glad if this yas of some inspiration to you... Where r you from?
Your channel is such a gold mine for me! I know noting about iconography, but I’m a professional artist and I work primarly with egg tempera both for environmental and economical reason. I’m very excited to try tempera grassa thanks to you! For me the only downside of egg tempera have been the blending, and I used to love oil for that. Maybe it will be the best of both world for me? Who knows. Thanks for sharing such High quality content, I see a lot of value in your work and videos. You are amazing!!! Much love to you xoxox
Thank you Noemie!! I'm happy if these videos help you!!
A huge THANK YOU for sharing this phenomenal technique with us .... This is so interesting ! ζήτω η Ελλάδα 🥰
Amazing tutorial! Bravo!
Glorious! Bravo !😍
Благодарю Вас! Отличная работа.
Bravo!
Great tutorial - I really enjoyed watching you paint.
Thank you soo much Spencer!!!!
Amazing !
Thank you
Great work, i find egg tempera a very natural proces, more so then oil paint, yet its got oil and dammar in it the way i make it but i like the speed of the drying, this lets me work better then in oil
Wonderful job
Amazing
Thanks so much ! You’re helping so many of us learn so much ! I’m disabled and it’s hard for me to get to a course ! I lm a member of the British association of iconography! I think ppl should join ! Xxx
I think you expressed exactly what i thought about El Greco, about the ominous shadows and spiritual qualities. I didn't like him when i was younger, but I really appreciate him now. I think my favorite artist is Botticelli, or maybe Fra Angelico?
Thank you so much!
Hi, Anthonis! Can you please make sometime a video about varnishes and the tehiques of varnishing. I am also am igonographer and I can say that from all the aspects of painting this one (varnishing) has given me the biggest "headaches". Thank you!
Congratulatiosns! Your painting is so beautiful and clear, easy to understand.
Hi Rona!! Thank you, I truly am not an expert on that. I just spray varnish my icons with an acrylic varnish and that's it!
Would be interesting to see you try and paint older Frankish manuscript illustrations, or even Gothic paintings.
Τhank you for the great ideas!! :)
Great, great skills! I have never use egg tempera, only gouache. From my understanding there is big difference... I was painting with mix of yolk+gouache and the colors becoming more vibrant and more transparent.
I am hearing that you can go the other way around as well - add egg yolk to oil paint and the paint would become a bit more stiff, impasto perhaps, I have to try this soon.
It would be wonderfull and extremly helpfull if u could also share your knowlege of acrylic painting .thank you so much .marvelous work !
your virgen Mary has a another expression that Grecos virgen but she is wonderful. congratulations
Antonis, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on tempera. Your videos are inspiring me to start painting with this technique, which I find it more practical since it dries more quickly than oil paint and the colours pop up amazingly! I have not yet tried tempera "grassa" with oil. Can you tell me long does it take for the layers to dry before you can add the next one? And have you tried other tempera techniques like with arabic gum or others? Thank you so much. Your channel really inspires me to learn!
Elena thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you find inspiration on my videos! Tempera grass dries on a day or two!
Ciao Antonis. I am finally getting around to exploring tempera grassa, and I wondered if you knew anything about adding varnish to the mix. The 20th century Italian painter Pietro Annigoni used a mixture of six parts egg yolks and one part each of linseed oil and varnish, but I haven't been able yet to figure out what kind of varnish he was using.
Antonio Anigonni worked with Tempera Grassa
Thank you Steven! I love him!!
What an incredible job you did! You really pulled that together. This is breathtakingly beautiful!!
I love El Greco, I saw his work at the Prada. I wonder... in Greece was he the top icon painter invited to the court of Spain? Or was he a disaffected visionary who wanted to do his own thing and found traditional iconography confining? I love this image but it does not have the ethereal transcendent quality of an icon, it feels to me more naturalistic not only in technique, but in the portrayal of Theotokos as a psychological person and an individual
Thank you very much for your video. I have a question: I want to know if it is possible to make tempera grassа insoluble after drying, in order to work more widely and with bristle brushes and not to dissolve the previous layers! Thank you!
That's hard to do....
Ich nehme ein geschütteltes Vollei und gebe gleichviel Leinöl dazu. Gut schütteln, kein Wasser dazugeben nur sehr gut schütteln. Die Tempara hält im Kühlschrank 1 Jahr. Erst beim Malen wird mit Wasser verdünnt.
Sorry I don't speak German at all! Can you please write in English!
Hello Antonis, how do you prepare your board for painting? The traditional way or with acrylic "gesso"? And by the way, wonderful icons. greatings from germany
Thank you so much. I make my own gesso with rabbit skin glue etc. Thank you so much!
Amazing! Do you have to use solvents to clean your brushes? Thank you!
Yes turpentoil and then soap and water
Thank you very much!
Interesting combinations of ingredients but won’t the linseed oil yellow more over time. Maybe poppyseed oil would yellow less? Thank you for the wonderful demonstration. Blessings to you.
Inevitably it gets a bit yellower...thsnk you for sharing this.. :)
Thank you for sharing!
I am learning some terms from iconography from you. At 2:00 you said proplasmi (proplasmos), grapsimata and what is the third one? Many thanks in advance!
Thank you.... I say 'fotismata' the lighting parts of a face or garment
Thank you!
How much slower does is dries compared to pure egg tempera? Can one quickly build up layers?
It's not as slow as pure oil.... Worked really good!
Are you using dry pigments? Or I can use oil paints? Thank you.
Hi Alicia!! Thank you! I used dry pigments for this!
if you make a wrong line how yoy correct it?
I cover the mistake with some color
@@PaintingtheLight Thank you
