The reference for this medieval creature was taken from The Lady and the Unicorn Tapestries, the "Taste" one.
I had to look this creature up to confirm its identity.
5x7 egg tempera and metal leaf
The experiment on this one was using pastel turned back to dust with the ADORABLE Derwent grater.
It worked.
I also did this for Snailchicken, with some Unison violet in the background.
All the turquoise was based on my favorite Sennelier 722 (the mystery pastel from a while back).
It worked well.
It's actually nice to be able to stretch the usefulness of my stupid pastel collection to egg tempera- though it should be known that when mixed with egg, the pastel dust does turn darker.
Pastel is still the most direct accurate way to apply pigment in its unaltered state.
