Painting project

Watercolour

Last month, we looked at the splendour of the Scottish landscape through sketches, paintings and photographs. For this demonstration I have selected one of those photos, an iconic view of Black Rock Cottage in Glencoe (below). Seen by everyone who drives through Glencoe, many stop to take a photo with the mountain Buachaille Etive Mor in the background.

I hope you enjoy painting this wonderful Scottish scene. I’d love to see your work so do please send them in to Painters Online (see the ‘show your work’ panel at the end of the demonstration).
