Sienese Painting in Egg Tempera
This immersive course invites participants to explore the luminous beauty of early Italian painting through the exquisite tradition of Sienese art and the historic technique of egg tempera.
Rooted in the rich artistic heritage of 13th to 15th Century Siena, the course offers a hands-on opportunity to study and practice the methods of masters such as Duccio, Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti brothers.
Working step-by-step in the classical manner, participants will learn how to transfer drawings, and paint with hand-mixed egg tempera on a gesso panel.
Special emphasis will be placed on the spiritual and aesthetic qualities that define Sienese painting—graceful line, delicate colour, and a refined sense of harmony.
Optional: If students would like to apply gold to the halo, they should bring a book of loose gold leaf.
