"TEMPERA IS MY LOVE." REVIEW, DEMO & MASTER ARTIST SET


Ekaterina Neshkova

Impressionist artist, @neshkovaart

«As an impressionist artist, my main task is to work with colour. And my main source of inspiration are flowers. Being a professional artist, I have participated in numerous international exhibitions. One of the biggest awards - my painting "Irises on the Lake" was selected by the jury of one of the most prestigious exhibitions "Salon Des Beaux Arts" Louvre (Paris) and I was invited to participate in it. I also became a nominee for the "Vera" award at the XXII International Art Festival in Moscow, held in the main exhibition hall Manege. And my pride - my picture with flowers adorns the transport card of the Troika of Moscow Metro.

The ability to create for me is like air and water. Everything that surrounds me inspires me to create new works. Painting and searching for harmonious colour combinations, the study of colour theories are closely linked to me. Most of all I like to paint flowers".

Tempera is an absolutely unique paint, it is suitable for artists who like oil, acrylic or watercolour. The most important difference between tempera and oil is that it is diluted with water. Tempera is slightly less dense than oil, but it can make a pasty stroke. The second main difference from oil is that the paint layer dries very quickly, in just a few minutes, about as fast as acrylic, but at the same time, tempera gives much more matte finish than acrylic.

For painting with Tempera, I use thick watercolour paper, from 250g/m2 and above. I often paint in sketch books, the sheets do not stick together as with acrylic. No special tools are required to work with Tempera and I like it. I use brushes, I paint with synthetics, a palette made of Plexiglass or ceramic, and a large jar of water. For rinsing brushes, I always use a beautiful glass vase, it makes the work flow more pleasant and nice.


The paint is easily and quickly applied to the surface of the painting. The main difference from acrylic is the consistency of the paint and the feeling when working with it. Thick consistency, very close to oil paints. Unlike acrylic, tempera does not form a film on the surface of the picture, it dries evenly and quickly, the layers do not mix with each other. This characteristic of Tempera ensures the purity of the colour.

Colours mixes can be easily stored in tightly closed jars for at least a month. Tempera is a covering paint, but if you add water to it, it becomes more transparent and looks like watercolour. Tempera is perfectly mixed with watercolours and gouache. I would use oil paints, but this is a long-term technique, with the use of many additional materials, in compliance with strict rules and restrictions in the work. Oil painting is long, while tempera is crazy, fast, emotional and impulsive. Tempera is velvety, it is matte, it is my love».
