This is the authentic formulation used since the Renaissance. Much of the religious panel painting done between the 12th and 15th century was done in this delicate and subtle medium, which is capable of detailed and complex effects. Sennelier Egg Tempera is famous as the medium used by Marc Chagall in many of his most spectacular works. Egg tempera is a water soluble and highly archival painting medium, wonderful for fine art painting, restoration, and icon painting. It's perfect as an underpainting for oil painters, or for artists seeking a highly pigmented, professional alternative to oil paints and solvents. Sennelier egg tempera has working qualities and a finish that is only found in authentic egg tempera made in the traditional manner. These delicate colors hold their brush strokes, and do not change when dry. Egg tempera can be worked with a brush or a palette knife (diluted with water) on non-greasy supports like acrylic primed canvas or paper. Impasto techniques are not recommended for egg tempera. Use varnish over egg tempera paintings for an oil painting like appearance. Sennelier recommends giving a finished egg tempera painting a coating of charcoal or pastel fixative before applying a final oil paint picture varnish.

At the end of the nineteenth century, when Gustave Sennelier started developing oil colors for his artist customers who would eventually include C&eacute;zanne, Gauguin, and Picasso, he recognized the need for producing paints that only contained the highest-quality pigments.   In order to craft superior colors, he verified that the origins of the pigments were from selected traditional sources, at the same time precisely identifying their chemical characteristics. His great respect for these materials not only ensured the permanence of works created with his paints, but also assured the production of an increasing array of unique colors of unsurpassed beauty and quality.   Since that time, some pigments have disappeared because their natural resources have been depleted, and others have been restricted due to their toxicity. However, the company's recent research and innovations have resulted in a wide variety of synthetic pigments that perfectly match the performance of ancient mineral pigments such as Lapis Lazuli and Cinnabar.   Sennelier still mines the Earth for minerals and other natural elements from traditional sources &mdash; pigments like clays and iron oxides used in ochres and the preparation of &ldquo;burnt&rdquo; earth colors from calcified soil.   Sennelier keeps a watchful eye on the pigments selected for its lines of extra-fine oils, oil sticks, watercolors, soft pastels, and oil pastels. These very same pure pigments are now available to artists wishing to master the preparation of their own colors.
