Egg yolk and water mixed 1:1, grind all your secco pigment in this. The yolk yellow color will disappear. Add alum to make the egg waterproof. After the wet pigment is alcohol dry, add a mixture of this media to the dry pigment, egg yolk in water, alum and lime water. Alum makes the egg waterproof and lime (or plaster) get hard faster. Casein mixed with alum expands the alum but doesn't dissolve it. Don't use them together. |
