I watched about 20 videos on how to make natural Tempera paint and yours was by far the best and informative! It's very interesting to me that every other video stress the importance of separating the egg yolk from the white and you didn't and that makes me happy. Thank you,Cory

the amount of boiled linseed oil reduces the tension that typically produces white egg !

I think artists tend to separate out the yolk in order to get very pure colours. But for use on woodwork or furniture I didn't find it necessary.

If i want to paint an orthodox icon can i use your method? How durable is in time? Do i need to varnish the icon if i apply this oil?

From what I understand orthodox icons only use egg tempera as the medium- just the inside of egg yolks mixed with white wine or vinegar depending on the region. This appears the be like a tempera grassa which was common in the early renaissance. Which essentially combines oil paint (linseed oil) with egg tempera

Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise / techniques. I feel honored to be a new subscriber to your Channel. Why do most everyone separate the egg yolk? What is the difference? Thank you very much, Cory

Hi there, I have a question please. Will this go over MDF that has a coat of PVA glue on it? Good instruction on making this paint, thanks for sharing.

Does this dry gloss to flat?
@neilmckay4097
@neilmckay4097 5 жыл бұрын
It does. It gives a very 'flat' finish. In case anyone is unclear what I mean by this, I mean it's not glossy or shiny. Instead it has a subtle sheen. It also wears and ages more subtly than a commercial gloss paint would, as instead of peeling or flaking, it will gradually wear, giving a patina of age. You can refresh the paint by wiping the surface over occasionally with a soft rag with a little linseed oil. Where I used it externally I brushed on linseed oil once year before winter.

@@neilmckay4097 great info? So you just run straight linseed oil over it annually and the brings the color back? How long does it last externally before the paint has to be reapplied? (I know it's situational but just generally speaking). I'm considering using it on a huge amount of cedar siding. I was going to buy linseed oil paint but it's around $175 a gallon so here I am researching making some myself lol.

Hey guys, I’m curious if anybody knows how long this would take to dry before adding another layer

Neil, do you add one eggshell of water or two? In the video you poured water into the larger eggshell only.
@kathryncastanares525

He says he puts equal parts of everything, egg, oil, water, etc. He poured one eggshell full of everything else. So, he put one eggshell full of water as well.

Hi Peter, Neil added 1 FULL eggshell of water, and 1 FULL eggshell of Linseed Oil. Obviously, when the egg is cracked the shell is broken in two... so ensure you fill both bits of broken shell to get one complete eggshell measure. Good luck!

As a chemist I would say would be easier to stick the jar on the scales and weigh as you are going along instead of using egg shells as measuring implements. good demo though and would be excellent without that awful note grinding on in the background

Has anyone used this paint recipe And painted something that stays outside in a Canadian winter. I am not sure I can use egg with linseed oil for outside objects. I would love to paint the floor of my porch with a green linseed oil paint but there's been days of -25 C this winter.

Apply linseed oil paint in the hot summer and you'll be reet. The oil polymerizes into a plastic type substance
