Egg oil tempera Hem(G) soil bag

The home(g) soil bag is for those of you who want to mix your own egg oil tempera but still have access to our recipe collection.

All our colors can be obtained in dry form in a bag, with a simple recipe for egg oil tempera. You can experiment to find the right consistency yourself, a "thin gruel" is usually good to think about.

Either you crack your eggs yourself and mix into an emulsion according to our recipe, then the color will be a pure fresh product that will last for about 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator. Or you can buy our ready-made emulsion, which also contains a little drying agent and food preservative. Simple isn't it!

In this system, the color may differ a little more, depending on how you use the bag ie. shake well, use all, or only part of the contents of the bag. If you use the entire contents of the bag at once, you should get as close as possible.

When we finish paint, we weigh very carefully so that we can repeat as accurately as possible. So ready-made paint is a safer system when you have to paint large surfaces.

Recipe for egg oil tempera for 1 liter.

  • About 5-6 eggs (preferably organic)
  • 3 dl boiled linseed oil (or raw cold-pressed of good quality)
  • 3-4 dl water
  • approx. 300-500 g of pigment (or ready-made Hem(G) soil bag).
  1. Beat the eggs lightly.
  2. Whisk in the linseed oil a little at a time.
  3. Then the water is whisked down.
  4. Now you have made an emulsion!
  5. Then, to give the emulsion color, the pigment is added little by little.
  6. If the paint becomes too thick, you can dilute it with more water, it should not be thicker than a light file.
  7. Store the paint in the refrigerator, it is a fresh product that lasts 1-2 weeks.

What Customers Say About Egg Oil Tempera

So happy with the egg oil tempera from Ovolin. Have previously painted the whole house with this wonderful color. We have now painted cast iron black on the paneled wall behind the new stove upstairs. This means that our flues from the ground floor and the stove upstairs merge into one unit. Delighted with the color.♥

Annette

Amazingly beautiful color. I use 611 on walls and 614 on moldings and lining. The homemade bag is good to have in stock at home if you want to mix the color yourself. I have painted with self-mixed emulsion and Ovolins ready-made. I recommend ready-mixed, it dries quickly and the color lasts a long time in the fridge. Tempera beats linseed oil paint with horse lengths. Easy to paint and wonderful luster in the color. Thanks!

Helena

Fast and professional communication. Now painted sofa legs that are going up to the mountains, long setup times. If the color tone is good, it will be more cast iron black. THANKS!

Greta Kollberg

Sinnerston blue 4-190 is incredibly beautiful in our bedroom, deep blue with green shifts that gives a harmonious and pleasant calm

Moa H.

At first we thought the color was too dark, but now that we've gotten used to it, we're very happy with the result. We got great service and it was fun to paint with egg oil tempera!

Mikaela Boltenstern

Beautiful color series! Was very pleased with the result!

Helena

Great color
It turned out so nice

Gunilla Andersson

Very nice color to work with and a great shade for interior doors and lining

Cecilia Gadman

First time painting with egg oil tempera and I am NOT disappointed. Painted a bench (untreated pine), the surface became fantastically matt and lovely. Will definitely paint more with egg oil tempera, maybe venture on the walls next time!

Ts.

I was very satisfied with my choice of Lindblomsgrön. It turned out exactly as I imagined!

Eva J.

This is really a good paint deal! The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful even when shopping online. Egg oil tempera is great!

Emelie Lantz

For several years I have bought products, mostly paint, from Ovolin. I am so satisfied, both with the products and with all the help I have received when I called and asked for advice. For me, it feels so good to use materials that do not harm nature.

Common questions

What is Hem(G) soil bag and what is it used for?

The home(G) soil bag is a bag of dry pigment mix that allows you to mix your own egg oil tempera using our simple recipe. It is perfect for those who want to have control over the process and still take part in our recipe collection.

How do I mix the color from the Hem(G) soil bag?

Mix 5-6 eggs, 3 dl linseed oil, 3-4 dl water and the contents of the Hem(G) soil bag. Whisk the ingredients to create a smooth emulsion. If the consistency is too thick, add more water until the color resembles thin gruel.

How long does the color last if I mix it myself?

The paint that you mix with the Hem(G) soil bag is a fresh product and will last for about 1-2 weeks if stored in the refrigerator.

Can the color vary when I use Hem(G) soil bag?

Yes, the color may vary slightly depending on how thoroughly you shake and use the contents of the bag. For best results, use the entire bag at once and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
