In the 'Year Book of the Society of Painters in Tempera' (1967) Hodgkin described his technique of preparing the materials for painting: 'The medium I use is from a recipe given me long ago by Maxwell Armfield. With the yolk of one egg, I mix 10 drops of spike oil of lavender, three drops of poppy oil and 12 drops of dammar varnish. These are well mixed on a marble slab with a stainless steel knife and put in a small glass jar with a screw top. An equal quantity of tap water is added and stirred in with a brush'.
