Painting technique

Technique

Egg tempera, natural pigments of plant and mineral origin indigenous to the Hermance Valley (Geneva, Switzerland) chiselled on grey river clay. Egg glaze. 

All the additives and mordants needed to extract the dye molecules from the plants and to prepare the pigments are of plant or mineral origin, and are prepared by me by fermentation, maceration, decoction or distillation.
