Handling and Warnings
Store in a cool (refrigerator) and dry place. Shake well before use! Shelf life up to max. 1 year.
Temperone is made according to a recipe from the 16th century and is a water-thinnable emulsion of rye flour, larch turpentine, linseed oil, honey and distilled water. The properties of this medium yield an excellent adhesion on oil and emulsion grounds.
History: Painters like Tintoretto required a fast-drying and cheap medium to finish large-scale work in a short time. Temperone makes it possible to paint quickly, up to 10 layers in one day. It dries within minutes to a satin gloss, and can be overpainted immediately. The emulsion remains water-soluble for a while, making it ideal for a sketch-like painting process that is easily corrected. Temperone is highly elastic on canvas and has good pigment binding properties. To impart lustre and durability, a final varnish of sandarac dissolved in ethyl alcohol is recommended. Temperone should be stored cool and dark (refrigerator).
