A Scottish Highlands Landscape Painting showing
a shaft of light on a mountain side.
The reference Photo for this Landscape Painting was
taken from a window of a Train on the Highland Railway
on a journey to visit the famous Room 13 Art Studio in
Caol School near Fort William, Scotland, which is run as
a business by junior school children. It was winter and there
was a hint of snow in the air.
Acrylics Landscape Painting Technique:
The Scottish Highlands Painting was done loosely and quickly
using Artists' Quality Acrylic Paint and a coarse Hog's Hair Paint
Brush. The close-up Image shows how the thick buttery paint is
dragged with a Dry-Brush Painting Technique to give a broken
texture.
The Brush Strokes are bold and suggest the ruggedness of the
Scottish Highlands and mountains. The dynamic quality of the
mark making reflects the fleeting movement of the train journey.
