Turkey Pond, 1944, Tempera on Panel.
Wyeth soon began working in egg tempera, a renaissance technique introduced to him by his brother-in-law, the painter Peter Hurd. Tempera became his major medium. He said that it forced him to slow down the execution of a painting and enabled him to achieve the superb textural effects that distinguish his work. His other mediums were watercolor and dry brush watercolor.

"The Helga Pictures" are a fantastic compilation of tempera and dry brush
paintings, watercolours and pencil studies secretly
created within a span of over fifteen years. Andrew
Wyeth created over two hundred and forty individual works of
neighbour Helga Testorf from 1971 to 1985 without
telling a single person, including his wife. He stated
that he would not have been able to have finished the project with everyone
looking at it.
