Egg Tempera Painting

Step 7Drying and Clean Up

Drying and Clean Up
Now just sit back and let it dry. Remember, you just painted using EGG, it will dry, and it will begin to smell. Just put it somewhere out of the way and let it do its thing. After a few days the smell goes away, and you are left with a beautiful piece of art.

To clean your brushes, use some dish soap and water. Don't let the egg dry. If you do the bristles will be ruined.

This is great! I've been wanting to try this technique, but I have a couple of questions:
Will the smell attract bugs? Should I take precautions, especially in the summer?
I live with several other people in a suburban neighborhood, and I don't think ANY of them would appreciate rotten-egg smell. Where do you suggest I should put it? How bad would it get?
Do you know if there's anything to mix with the egg that would negate the smell? If not, that's okay.
