Join award-winning painter Kaysha Siemens for a two-day workshop in egg tempera, the ancient medium made modernly famous by Andrew Wyeth. Kaysha will teach the basics of this incredible historical medium through painting one of her own specialties: cloudscapes. All levels of artistic experience are welcome.
The workshop will include:
- Demonstrations and one-on-one support from the teaching artist
- All the necessary art materials (easel, panel, brushes, palettes, pigments, etc.)
Each student will take home their egg tempera panel and leftover pigment mixtures that can last another week if refrigerated
- A list of resources for purchasing future egg tempera painting materials
- A guided tour and discussion of egg tempera artworks in Brandywine’s collection
- Free museum admission to explore all the other galleries
All art materials required for the workshop will be provided, but artists are welcome to bring their own water medium brushes if preferred or photographs of clouds for inspiration. Artists may pack their own lunch or purchase from the museum’s Millstone Café.
