OIL


The old Technique


Oil Painting using Colour pigments blended with oil. Thinned with turpentine.

Usually first layers are thinnner than next layers.

Alla Prima is the technique of painting the paint in one- go or wet-on-wet technique.

Charcoal

Charcoal

In use since Stone Age

Charcoal is one of the oldest and most expressive art mediums.

Charred wood is used to create rich black and white artwork.

Water colors

Pigments floating in water can give a floating, dreamy apperance in the final painting.

Light tones has to be untouched by the brush /pigment to give the light appearance.

The technique is quite different from oil painting.

Water colors are painted on paper, weight and medium specified.

To paint or not to paint - that`s the question

About Eva Beate Fagereng , artist and founder of SAC

She has a background as an Agriculturist, Entomology Researcher, High School teacher, Fish Farmer, Consultant and Petroleums Engineer.

She has given birth to two daugthers and two sons.

Classic figurative art are closest to her heart.

Depiction of human beeings, nature and animals; in a way that one can recognize ourself in the motifs, are one of the goals with her art.

She aims to make a three dimensional ezpression on a two dimensional object, using perspective, shapes, colours, shadows and values - to touch the human heart.


The beauty in Creation itself is an everlasting inspiration and she looks at art (and music) as the closest humans can come to express creation - the way nature is created.

She learned oil painting by Norwegian portrait painter Jonny Kruckow Heng.
