Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Learn to prepare gesso panels with Bethany. In this video I will show the process in preparing a panel for egg tempera painting using traditional methods and ingredients. Starting with how to make a rabbit skin glue size and then a chalk gesso you will get a sense of what it was like for artists of the past and those who still use the beautiful medium of egg tempera today.

You are very welcome, good luck on your creative journey!
Excuse my curiousity, please, from which part of England are you coming from? You have such a lovely accent! By the way, I first leave my glue in water for 24 hours so that the granules can soak up the water. Only then do I heat it, but not above 60 degrees, otherwise the glue loses its binding power.

Thankyou, I am from Hampshire. I say at about 4:40 that I leave the granules to soak overnight, the longer they are left the better. Although depending on how processed the RSG you are using it might need longer or shorter to fully absorb the water, and yes slow melt on low heat 57 - 60c, definitely not over 70c.
