Medium: Egg Tempera
Level: All Levels
5-Day Studio Class

Old as the Egyptians and most famous during the Renaissance, egg tempera painting is becoming increasingly popular with artists today.  Tempera has unsurpassed luminosity.  Dozens of glazes and scumbles can be applied in a day, and yet the medium also allows for meticulous linear detailing.

This comprehensive five day workshop, taught by an internationally recognized tempera painter. offers the opportunity for in-depth work in egg tempera: students will spend five full days working on a painting of their own design.  Koo will provide on-going discussion and critiques, give painting demonstrations, and discuss the important design elements of old master painting.

Demonstrations presented in this workshop include: painting a portrait in egg tempera; creating granite, marble, and other textured surface; decorative and geometric patterns; incised lettering; oil glazing over tempera; how to set up and photograph still life and portrait subjects; and more. 

Open to all levels of painters.  Beginners will receive an introductory lesson on the medium before painting.

Koo Schadler's exquisitely detailed egg tempera paintings are in more than 350 private, corporate and museum collections worldwide.   She is a board member of The Society of Tempera Painters, writes and lectures on egg tempera painting, and has taught dozens of egg tempera and old master painting workshops around the country.  She is represented by the J. Cacciola Gallery in New York, NY, the Turner Carroll Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, and is a master painter of the Copley Society of Art in Boston, MA.  Her 108 page egg tempera book has been described as "one of the most concise and useful books on the art of egg tempera painting should be on the bookshelf of every serious artist".
