Egg tempera is a type of medium used before oils became popular during the
Renaissance. The yolk of an egg is mixed with the ground pigment and applied
with a soft brush and which dried very rapidly.
The term "tempera" in modern times has also been used by some manufacturers
to refer to ordinary poster paint, which is a cheap form of gouache that has
nothing to do with real egg tempera.
