Limited spots available—register today! \nAbout the workshop: \nFrom 4th-century Egyptians to medieval altarpiece artists\, to contemporary painters\, artists have chosen egg tempera for its permanence and unique luminosity. Although an ancient technique\, this fascinating medium is really very simple and economical to use. \nIn this 2-day workshop\, Kathy will demonstrate how to make tempera paints using egg yolk\, dry pigments\, and a little water. The first class will cover examples of egg tempera painting through the ages\, how to make the egg tempera paint\, the materials needed to get started\, best practices for handling pigments\, and painting techniques such as brushwork\, glazing\, sponging\, and scumbling. Sample panels will be provided\, as well as a larger panel for each student’s final painting. After the demonstration\, students will mix their own egg tempera paints\, try it out on practice panels\, and then transfer a drawing to a larger panel. \nPrerequisites:\nStudents should have some painting experience in any medium. \nAbout the Instructor:\nKathy Hodge is known for her oil paintings\, but after “inheriting” the egg tempera supplies of magic realist painter Louise Marianetti\, she became intrigued by the technique and has worked it into her studio practice. She attended RISD through her junior year as a painting major and has a BFA in painting from the Swain School of Design in New Bedford. She has exhibited her paintings in many one person shows and has been appointed Artist-in-Residence in 13 National Parks and 2 National Forests across the country. She was the recipient of a Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Painting Fellowship in 2017.
