About tempera painting

Tempera is a painting technique that was mainly used in Italy between the 12th and 15th centuries. This technique gained particular attention around the 14th century, and was a central presence in painting along with fresco until it was later replaced by oil painting. There are several types of tempera techniques, but egg yolk tempera, which is resistant to aging and has a bright color tone, is the most representative.

I also use the egg yolk tempera technique. The base is coated with a gypsum glue solution on the board, decorations such as reliefs are added, and gold leaf is placed on top of it and colored with egg yolk tempera paint.

 


黄金背景テンペラ画の大まかな制作工程

下地作り

板にウサギ膠を塗り、麻布を張り込み、石膏膠液を10層程度塗り重ね、金属の板で削ります。

・金箔押し

砥粉(とのこ)を塗り重ね、水をたっぷり塗り、金箔を押します。

​乾燥後、濡れタオルを乗せて湿気を入れたあと表面を乾かし、メノウ棒で金箔を磨きます。

少し先の尖ったメノウ棒で模様を刻印をします。砥粉と金箔がはみ出ている部分をヤスリで削ります。

 

・絵具での描写

卵黄テンペラ技法で用いる絵具は、卵黄と酢と顔料を練り合わせて作ります。

​箔押しの工程が全て終わってから絵具で描いていきます
