Back in 2024, I started doing little sketches from photos I have taken on wee adventures around Scotland with my dad. I intended to eventually turn my favourites into bigger more fleshed out paintings but, I never took it any further than my sketchbook. I would still love to do this! Especially with this one although I am a bit concerned the loose, textured quality will be hard to translate into a proper artwork! I guess the only way to figure out if it will work or not is to try it! This was painted with gouache and finished off with soft pastels, the first time I ever attempted to use both mediums on the same painting and I still love it to this day.
Let me know if you want me to paint this again and refine it?
The memory of my trip to three lochs forest drive off season will forever be captured in my wee sketchbook regardless though. Funny how the off season is actually the most beautiful time of year for this location in my opinion. I highly recommend if you are ever in Scotland during Autumn.
