Koo Schadler, born 1962 in Litchfield, Connecticut.
Master egg-tempera artist Koo Shadler utilizes the simple pre-Renaissance, pre-oil painting medium of egg yolks and powdered pigment to create astoundingly detailed, intensely colored, high-clarity paintings of the natural world around her. Her workshops in egg tempera, one of the oldest painting techniques, are internationally attended.
Used by artists from Botticelli to Wyeth, egg tempera is admired for its preservation of colors and brilliant surfaces. Egg tempera paint is generally applied in diluted, thin, often transparent layers of color with each layer building the image. The result of interacting colors creates the rich, luminous look unique to tempera paintings.
Schadler introduces you to three schools of egg tempera painting: Greek, Italian and Northern. Working on small, gessoed panels, you paint studies from life under the guidance of this celebrated artist. Workshop participants also receive Schadler’s acclaimed manual, Egg Tempera Painting.
Following her 1984 graduation from Tufts University (BA, Art History), Schadler traveled extensively throughout Europe. She eventually settled in Florence, Italy to pursue her studies in art history and painting. It was not until 1986 and her return to the United States, that Schadler was introduced to egg tempera through artist Chester Arnold.
Today Schadler works from her studio in a small town in southern New Hampshire. Her primary artistic pursuit is the study and creation of egg tempera paintings. She is a Master painter of The Copley Society of Boston and is represented by Twinhouse Gallery in Atlanta, GA. Her work is in over 80 collections and has been exhibited nationwide. © ( Gage Academy of Art ) .
