Description 24" x 24"
Egg tempera on panel.

This was a trial for my painting materials and techniques class (in which I learned a LOT of new technical painting jargon and techniques that I am VERY anxious to put to use). I'm a first-timer with egg tempera, but I lurved it. Especially the glossy finish. The grounds are rabbit skin glue with about 8 coats of sanded marble powder + RSG, buffed with a rag, so the surface is glassy<3

Stagnant man makes another appearance^_~

another feast for my eyes. Again, always love it, your style and application of materials used is just fantastic. I will one day find you and eat your brain and assimilate all this skill!! or, being the kind and lovely girl that you are, you could always scoop it out, wrap it up nicely, pop it into a box and send it to me.

I would much prefer the real thing, but if a ceramic is the best i can get then i guess it will do. I hope your teeth are ok.

Thanks, sweetness! I just wish the documentation is better. There are a lot of subtle glazes that I wish the cam would have picked up.

I like the composition of the piece. The stars dangling form the trees is quite enjoyable and the rust like background takes me to a world that resembles silent hill.

I'm glad you think so. It was sort of an odd build up with egg tempera layers. Three yolks gave their lives for this piece...
