How to thicken tempera paints?
I am new to painting, and temperas specifically, but a couple of my paints are too watery straight out of the bottle. How can I go about thickening these (and ideally without a great investment of time beforehand)?
So far, I've tried flour, Boraxo, Palmolive, egg white and salt. Elsewhere on the Internet, I've seen recommended liquid starch or tempera powder, though I haven't tried these yet. The latter makes the most sense, but some of the colors I have in ready-to-use form aren't readily available as a powder (e.g., neon/light green vs. standard/dark green).
Cheers!
Try cornstarch, it's pretty neutral, and easy to find at the grocery store. Personally (as an artist) I would recommend you add matte acrylic gel medium.
