Gold leaf was commonly used alongside tempera and oil in Islamic and Renaissance art to add a rich appearance to the work. The gold leaf is applied over the dried tempera paint and then covered with a layer of oil paint for added depth and texture. Wax, polished stones, marble dust, and chalk were not typically used in conjunction with tempera and oil.
