Welcome
My name is Leslie Watts, and I've been painting with egg tempera for more than thirty years. During that time, I've received a number of emails from people looking for instructions in this beautiful and time-consuming technique.
The way I make the paint and apply it is not the only way to do it. However, it works for me. And if you've ever thought about trying egg tempera yourself, here is a place to start.
