Actually, I work back and forth, depending on the mood and the subject.
I am, primarily, a portrait artist. I work in pastel, oil, watercolor, graphite and silverpoint.
I'm going to dabble in egg tempera, as I've always liked the results, particularly for portraits - like Andrew Wyeth's and a great artist I know in California, Wade Reynolds.
Egg Tempura? Sounds like dinner.
Is that using an egg wash to antique the pic?
I use a similar technique adding a yellow to the wash.
I like pen and ink as well.
Woodcarving is my main point of interest at the moment. I use that antique finish
