School Tempera Paints
Tempera paints are a water-based paint that has been used since ancient times and is still popular. Known for its vibrant colours and versatility. Here’s a bit more about them:
- Made from pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder. Such as egg yolk (historically) or glue (modern formulations). Tempera paints dry quickly to a matte finish.
- They can be used on various surfaces, including paper, wood, and canvas. Artists appreciate tempera for its bright, opaque colours and smooth, even coverage.
- Ideal for both fine art and educational purposes. Tempera paints are often used in schools for teaching painting techniques. They’re also popular among professional artists for their durability and luminosity.
Tempera paints are a fantastic choice for those looking to explore traditional painting techniques or for anyone needing a reliable, non-toxic option for art projects.
