#0, Water resistant tempera
Posted by Janipa_11 on 21-Jun-11 at 08:15 PM
Hi
I am trying out tempera resist. I bought some RichArt fresco tempera paint (not washable)and finding that it is washing off more than I would like. I have tried adding acrylic matte medium and while it doesnt wash off, the effect is less desirable. What can I mix in the tempera paint to make it less prone to washing away? Talc, plaster, egg white? Thanks.

why do you need to use tempera in a place where there is water? acrylics should not wash off

Even tho some of it washes off, there is a randomness in the resulting texture and pattern that acrylics dont replicate.

gouache is a lot more "washable" than any tempera
