‘Assynt – Scotland’

This picture was painted from a photograph my Daughter took whilst on an Earth Science field trip. They were actually camping out on the side of a mountain in below zero conditions. Having been on field trips similar beforehand, when the offer was put to the group “Who will dig out a toilet for camp?” My daughter quickly raised her hand and proceeded with the task. Why, you may ask did she volunteer? The reason being, that, at the end of the trip, there is no call for volunteers just a pointed finger to the chosen person to fill the toilet in – AND its never pointed at the person who dug the hole in the first place! She has always been quick to learn!!

A beautiful part of Scotland.

Colourful Mountain Stream – Pen and Inks

This simple pen and ink illustration really came to life when I added the coloured inks. The colours I used gave it an Autumnal feel which is vividly contrasted by the blues of the stream. I think the best thing about this picture is the depth within the water given by adding varied amounts of the blue to create shadows from the little islands.

Below is The same sketch but left as a black and white illustration to show the effect the colour has upon the scene!

Worcester College Ducks, Oxford University

For those who have browsed my LANDSCAPE SECTION, You may recognise this scene. In Landscapes it was done in soft pastels which gives it a real feeling of softness, This is the preliminary sketch for that artwork. The drawing was done from a photograph taken whilst visiting my Daughter, who was studying for her Master’s Degree at the time. The ducks at Worcester College are considered very important and are contained within the College Emblem.

‘Sunrise At The Barn’

This watercolour was more of a doodle than based on any actual scene. I was playing around with colours which seem to arise on a cold misty dawn. In my imagination this is how the painting played out, connecting everything together by using the same colours throughout, from the sky, the trees across the barn and down to the ground. The pathway between the barbed wire fencing I added later to give the painting more perspective. Quite pleased with my imaginary doodle!

Oil Painting of Local Landscape ‘Along the Lane’ in Oils

For those of you who have been through ALL my landscapes so far, You may think I have repeated this scene. True, but, though the previous post was done in Soft Pastel and mounted it measures only 20″ x 16″, this picture above is in fact much larger. It was done on 100 x 80 cm box canvas and painted in oils. I tried to recreate the scene as closely as possible to the photograph I had taken (Though I did take artistic licence and added some colourful foliage at the bottom of the railings – with the canvas so large the railings seemed to overtake the landscape too much).  By use of the oils I wanted to convey light, shadows, colours and textures but at the same time convey also the tranquillity  It is a scene I have recreated several times in different mediums. As this version was the largest, I managed to get more detail in. I love the colours and reflections on the water. From the cottage gardens in the rear of the picture, right across the fishing lodge in the foreground there seems to be an equal share of colours, bringing the whole picture together!

Edgworth Overspill

With a beautiful autumn scene captured on camera, I decided to take a new approach. Instead of using my favoured mediums of oil paint or pastel, I dug out of the cupboard a set of coloured inks. Wow! I was really happy with the vibrant landscape creation.
