Egg tempera is a terrific medium with many advantages. It is safe, non-toxic, and permanent. Unlike oil paint, it will not yellow, change in color, or grow transparent over time. Unlike acrylic, it has a proven track record going back hundreds of years. Egg tempera shows the beauty of pigments off to great advantage. Colors are clear, bright, and pure.

How much paint do you need with water colors?

A water color painting is a painting that is created with a water based paint and extra water. The amount of water to be added to the paint depends on how much change you want to bring to the paint. Adding water changes the consistency and depth of color by making it lighter.


What is water paint?

It is paint mixed with pigment in such a way that all components are water soluble. We used to get paint kits with 8 to 10 colors that you would use a wet paint brush with.

Green paint plus red paint equals what paint?

This really depends upon two factors, the shade of the original colours and the types of paint being mixed. Generally the simple answer, though, would be 'orange'. A very bright yellow mixed with a dull red could produce a shade of orange similar to the colour of the flesh of a ripe mango while a very bright shade of red mixed with an insipid yellow would produce an interesting/unusual shade of a reddish colour. An oil based paint mixed with a water based paint will produce a possibly attractive rainbow effect because the two paints will separate. This has been tried to produce a spotted effect but only works reasonably well on horizontal surfaces. On any other surface the oil based paint will rise above the water based paint and then slide down to the bottom of the surface being painted and, maybe, even drip off altogether.

Is paint miscible or immiscible?

Paint is typically considered immiscible because it is composed of various pigments and binders that do not easily mix together to form a homogeneous solution. When different paint colors are mixed, they tend to separate into distinct layers rather than blending completely. This immiscibility is why it's important to thoroughly mix paint before use to ensure a consistent color and texture.
