Jack Richeson - Powder Tempera Paint

Powder Tempera Paint

Mix with water to create brilliant, adjustable tempera for classroom projects

Powder tempera simplifies classroom painting setups while delivering surprisingly rich color. Mix equal parts powder and water for standard coverage, then adjust ratios to create transparent washes for layering or concentrated mixtures for bold opacity. Jack Richeson formulates these pigments to dissolve smoothly without clumping, eliminating the frustrating lumps that plague inferior powder paints. The dry format means extended shelf life and efficient storage, no dried-out jars or wasted product from containers left open.

These pigments pack genuine intensity. Unlike diluted liquid temperas that require multiple coats for solid coverage, properly mixed powder tempera delivers saturated color in single applications. The formulation works across techniques: thin washes for watercolor-style effects, standard consistency for general painting, or thick mixtures for textured applications. Teachers appreciate the economy, you control concentration based on project needs rather than accepting predetermined dilution.

Note that these pigments can stain clothing and work surfaces, so aprons and protective covering are essential. The trade-off for vibrant color is permanence; treat powder tempera with the same care you'd give any serious painting medium. Mix only what you need for each session to maintain freshness and color intensity throughout your project.
