Answer and Explanation:

Tempera is traditionally created by hand-grinding dry powdered pigments into a binding agent or medium, such as egg yolk, milk (in the form of casein), and a variety of plant gums.

Bc tempera painting was the main canvas for painting medium for nearly every painter in Europe (I hope that makes sense)..
