Watch a painting demonstration to
Watch a painting demonstration to learn about the different properties of green pigments bound in egg tempera and those mixed with oil. Then see how these were used to achieve very different effects in masterpieces from the National Gallery's collection.
Pigments made from mineral clays, known as 'green earths' from egg tempera, were used by Italian artists of the 13th to 15th centuries as a base colour for flesh. These dry quickly. Oil paint, often made using walnuts or linseed, dries slowly to form a tough film. It can be used as an opaque paint or built up as a translucent glaze.
