Our ready egg oil tempera is the one we sell the most of. In our brochure you can read about different surfaces that can be painted on and how we calculate the amount of paint needed. Generally, we say that 1 liter of paint covers 10-12 sqm. (On plaster/lump paper 4-6 sqm/liter, on painted surfaces/planed wood about 10-15 sqm/liter). Keep in mind that this is the calculated amount for one coat, often 2-3 coats are required.
Most people find it convenient to just open a can and start painting, that it lasts at least a couple of months, and dries relatively quickly is appreciated by many.
It is also a prerequisite for larger construction projects to find the paint interesting, and we would like to involve the 'big players' in a more sustainable and ecological thinking for the future!
