Paintings executed in a combined technique of egg tempera and oil. An underpainting is developed in egg tempera usually over an underdrawing in india ink (or silverpoint). Then a series of painting sessions occur by working a resinous glaze into the surface and wiping it off. This still tacky surface receives a full development of semi-transparent egg-emulsified paint, working wet-in-wet. Because the resinous glaze is very thin and the egg tempered paint is very lean it is possible to build up a richly varied paint-surface through repeated layers. This is an “indirect painting” technique.
