The artist used:

Type of canvas: linen fabrics, Linen comes first in terms of strength and not absorbing refined paint oils


Sable brushes; While many other natural and synthetic hairs are used for brushes, nothing has quite matched the quality of sable. A brush head made from kolinsky sable, a Siberian weasel that's hair is said to cost three times the price of gold by weight, is the best for control and pinpoint accuracy.

 

For solvents, the artist used turpentine, which increases the fluidity of oil paints but makes the binder oil dry faster, also used clove oil as a solvent to delay the dryness of the binder, as it delays the oxidation process.

 

As a binder, the artist used Linseed oil, which dries to form a strong flexible film, and also Safflower oil(which takes more time to dry).

Artists mixed high-quality pigments with both Binder(linseed oil) and Solvent(turpentine) to create the desired consistency and finish.

 

Impasto technique; Impasto is a technique used in painting, where paint is laid on canvas thickly, usually thick enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible, when dry, impasto provides texture.

 

The Story Behind The Lake Boat Original Painting

"Qarun’s treasures lurk beneath the surface of the present-day lake."

 

  The painting depicts a boat in Qarun lake "El Fayum" Egypt, with a calm environment and water reflections. The brushstrokes chronicle the techniques the artist used to create this piece of art. Qarun Lake, southeast of Cairo, is a huge lake that brings life to the timeless knolls and dunes of Egypt’s Western Desert. Throughout Egypt’s history, colorful myths and stories have been associated with this big body of water. The lake is located in the Fayoum Governorate. Fayoum is treasured by many Cairenes as a place to find rest, peace, and pleasure due to its breathtaking landscapes and monuments, and unique cultural sites. “Fayoum Governorate is nothing but the lake”, The word Fayoum is derived from the ancient Egyptian name Bayoum, or ‘the lake’. Many believe that the name Qarun can be attributed to the protagonist of a story in the Quran. The Qarun of the story was an opulent man, a contemporary of Moses, who is believed to have lived in Egypt, and had all his mansions and possessions flooded as a punishment for his sins. Fishermen and many others who live by the lake believe that Qarun’s treasures lurk beneath the surface of the present-day lake and that they are guarded by a fairy or a mermaid. Over the years stories have been told of people diving for the treasures but so far all attempts at recovery have been in vain. Among the fishermen, fables are told of people who claim to have witnessed the mermaid and were mesmerized by her charm and magic.


  The artists frequently visit the Lakeside to research color, light, and motion. Numerous artists have attempted to catch the atypical lighting that is often stable in the sky and shaky in the Lake. It is both a love emblem and an icon of security and sanctuary. Many cultures have placed the art of a boat on headstones for centuries. Being able to be streamlined and stylized, the boat lends itself well to sculpting. And like a canvas, each boat would have its own painting story.
