About egg tempera:
Egg Tempera have many benefits. It's a no yellowing and water dilutable artist grade paint which dries quickly with a satin-matt finish. Tempera is more transparent than oil and holds less pigment. This lets the light penetrate through it and reflect off the white surface of the primer beneath it. Another advantage of egg tempera is that, it is resistant to light, and its colors do not darken or change with age.
The Exquisite limited Fedoskino lacquer masterpieces are unique, because Oil painting and egg tempera painting are both compatible in many ways, and artists throughout history have used egg tempera exclusively for painting, or as an underpainting layer in oils, or even used the yolk to modify the structure of oil paint, there is a successful tradition of applying oil on top of egg tempera. This technique gives a unique glossy shine to the art object.
