THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF TEMPERA COLOURS

  • Rich, bright, deep colours, very close in consistency to oil paints.
  • MASTER CLASS TEMPERA paints are made without any whitening, matting or other fillers, do not change their shades after drying.
  • While painting, the layers of the paint dry evenly and quickly, and do not form a film on the surface like acrylic paints do. This unique property is very conducive to creating artwork that retains colour purity.

VERSATILITY

No special solvents or additional materials are required. Any (degreased) surface can be painted on – paper, cardboard, canvas, – using synthetic and bristle brushes, palette knife and water.

COMPATIBILITY

MASTER CLASS TEMPERA can be combined with all other paint in NEVSKAYA PALITRA’S acrylic, watercolours and gouache series.

QUICK-DRYING

Allows for framing or transporting a painting at an earlier stage, as well as applying various techniques, even when an area in a painting is painted over several times.

DURABILITY

The paints are not susceptible to temperature and humidity changes, and do not fade in bright light. After drying, a permanent, flexible, water-insoluble layer on the surface of the painting is formed. The painting does not darken or turn yellow over time, does not change its shade, and retains its vibrancy.

STABILITY
When drying, the colours do not change their shades, and remain unchanged for many years due to excellent lightfastness of high-quality pigments.
SHRINK-RESISTANCE
MASTER CLASS TEMPERA will decrease in volume only slightly immediately after drying, and then completely retains its shape. This is an advantage in comparison with oil paints that change their volume for a longer period of time.

COLOURS

To date, the series offers 39 bright, saturated, opaque colours, including those with genuine cobalt and cadmium pigments. 31 of them are mono-pigment colours, 37 colours – with the highest lightfastness rating, 2 colours – with average lightfastness. Available in 46 ml tubes.

ARTIST REVIEWS

EKATERINA NESHKOVA

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.

VYACHESLAV KOROLENKOV

Tempera is my favorite material for sketches. I like to use it in the plein air, because it is water-based colours, no solvents are needed, all you need is paper or cardboard, Tempera and water, as in watercolour painting, and it is very convenient.

ETERY SIDYAKINA

As for me, I consider Tempera as versatile medium, that allows you to work pasty, like with oils and create big detailed paintings, but also make fast sketches on any paper you have at hand
