The Old Masters already appreciated the special characteristics of tempera.
Eberhard Faber has now modernised the packaging of the traditional paints in handy, transparent plastic boxes with either 6 18ml tubes of tempura or 10 12ml tubes of tempura.
The lightfast, luminous shades can be applied homogenously and also mix well together. When diluted with water they become a little lighter, but also go further. Even after it has dried, you can continue working with the paint by adding water.
Many different materials, such as paper, card, wood, glass and hardboard are suitable painting surfaces for tempera paint from Eberhard Faber, whether you want to create watercolour, eye-catching or handcrafted effects. Some surfaces produce a better result if they have been prepared for tempera application, for example by roughening or priming. After painting, tempura can be coated with clear varnish, which guarantees that it will last for longer.
