🔎 Why Egg Tempera?
This unique medium blends transparency and vibrancy, allowing lower layers to glow through the top—like light dancing beneath the surface of the skin. It’s a technique that creates depth and beauty unlike any other.

📜 Important Note:
Participants must demonstrate care and maturity in handling materials as we’ll be using raw egg yolk and pigments.
