I was thrilled by paintings I saw at an exhibition of work by Elliot Hodgkin, an uncle of the well known Howard Hodgkin. The catalogue contained an interview with him in which he described his working method, including the recipe he used for painting in egg tempera. I tried it and liked it very well. It seems particularly good for small still lifes.
