Use Tempera

Use Tempera
Do you think I could successfully do this painting with tempera paint?

I was wondering if it’s possible to do this painting with tempera paint

I know tempera paint doesn’t mix very well, so should i use acrylic instead?

Also the canvas i bought says ‘for oil or acrylic paint’. is it a bad idea to use tempera on it or does it really not matter?

thanks

I would use acrylic, but you could use oil. Acrylic will dry faster, is non-toxic, water soluable and odorless. Oil paint has longer workable time, but it stinks and cleanup is a chore.

If you already have the tempera, you can try it out on an old cardboard box and see how you like it. But if I didn’t have it I would not buy it for this project.
