For most of those years, her work has focused primarily on watercolour painting, and the development of a unique detailed, “dry on dry” transparent layering technique. This stylistic approach is very similar to the technical aspects employed with egg tempera, and Debra now includes this medium in her portfolio. Egg tempera is an almost forgotten medium that is fascinating in its organic engagement of the artist. The processes involved with preparing panels, making gesso and grinding pigments to create paint with egg yolk as binder hasn’t changed in over 1000 years.
