What happens to oil when you mix it with an egg yolk?
Egg yolk by itself dries up and cracks, but in the middle ages it was very popular to create a yellow color for a paint. To create this paint (called Tempera) the egg yolk would be added to oil on a 1:1 basis. The two substances become a solution, and the oil keeps the egg yolk in a consistency we think of with paint (thick and viscuous). Some sort of acidic substance is also added usually, like vinegar or white wine. When the tempera is used for painting, it dries quickly, and the oil causes the pigment in the egg to bond with the surface that is painted. See the related link for examples of Tempera art.
