Over the years I have honed my supply list for teaching egg tempera until it includes the absolute minimum that you need to have an enjoyable learning experience … and still keep as much money in your wallet as possible. Most of these supplies are easily available, but for a few specialized items I highly recommend ordering online from Natural Pigments…

• Koo Schadler Egg Tempera Pigment Kit

• Koo Schadler Brush set

• Two 5x7 Tempanel Panels

• a good-quality Italian Palette knife

• a small atomizer or cosmetic spray bottle full of water

• 12 jelly jars or disposable dixie cups with lids to store your mixed paints

• a 2B pencil

• painter’s tape (the green masking tape)

• a roll of paper towels

• a glass painter’s palette (you can make your own by buying a piece of tempered glass and putting white paper under it)

• a pad of 9x12 pad of tracing paper

• 90% alcohol (grain alcohol or vodka will do in a pinch)

• And of course … EGGS!
