E. Melinda Morrison - Representational Style

A collection of figurative and portrait paintings by E.Melinda Morrison. These works have been painted with egg tempera. What is Egg Tempera? Tempera is a handmade painting medium, which is very easy to prepare. It harnesses the natural emulsion of egg yolk, using it as a binder of liquid and dry pigments to create color layers. The great advantage of using a mixture of normally immiscible substances (water and fat), is that we can use tempera either as a lean or oily medium.
