Colin Fraser is a contemporary Scottish painter known for his detailed still life, landscapes, and interiors.
Fraser has long been established as one of the world’s leading egg tempera painters.
Born in 1957 in Glasgow, United Kingdom, he studied art at Brighton Polytechnic before moving to Sweden in 1981.
Fraser’s use of egg-tempera gives his work a light-filled, translucent quality unequaled in other mediums.
It is notoriously hard to control and seldom used by contemporary artists.
“It’s a medium fraught with technical difficulties, but therein lies its charm. Brushstrokes dry instantly and are never really fully opaque, so just about every mark the painter makes shows,” Fraser has explained.
“You can’t force your will on it, it forces you to accept the marks you make and live in the ‘moment’, with each brushstroke that is applied to the panel.”
More of Colin Fraser‘s work can be found at galleries around the Internet.

I do too. And I’ve never heard of egg tempera painting either. Artists are just so creative, aren’t they?

Evocative. My favorite is the door leading to the garden and the lake.
