Location Drawing

Hello Darklings! Now as you know I've been studying art at Inverness College and I thought I'd share some of my work with you guys. 

I know it's not jewellery but in the meantime I thought I'd just share some of my work because I haven't posted anything for months.  Each one will have a title and a wee description of what mediums I used and where the location was.  

Culloden Battlefield 

This is a painting of the little historical cottage that is situated at Culloden Battlefield. I decided to paint this little cottage because the location is just so beautiful and the cottage itself is just amazing to see. The cottage itself was most likely built

around the early 1800s. The cottage was built using local stone and turf. At the time of the battle at Culloden this little cottage was most likely used as a field hospital for injured and sick soldiers. 

It was definitely the history behind this part of Culloden that made me want to paint it. I have always loved this little cottage so much so that some of my wedding photographs where taken at this location. 

With this painting I used a mix of pencil drawing and watercolour paints just to add some colour.

The Loch

This is a painting of the loch that connects to the Moray Firth in the Highlands. I love this part of Inverness especially during the summer as the sunsets over the hills are just so beautiful. 

This painting was done by using a mix of ink and watercolour. 

The View From The Window

This painting was, well the view from my window. This painting is not my favourite as personally I'm not a fan of drawing or painting modern buildings. I prefer cottages and churches as they

have more character. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go out and about on this certain day so just painted what was out my window and there's not much more to say about this particular painting.

This painting was done in watercolour.  

Railway Tracks

This painting is of the railway tracks that go through Culloden woods and in the mornings it tends to be rather misty in the background. I really love this part of Culloden woods as it's just so pretty and tranquil, until a train comes rumbling by!     

This painting was also done using ink and watercolour.

Snowy Landscape

This painting started out as a pencil drawing as I was on my way down to Glasgow when I drew it. Me and the hubby stopped off just so I could get a quick rough sketch of the landscape. I never took my water colours with me so I painted it when I came home from well deserved night of  heavy metal! 

I believe this landscape is part of the Cairngorm National Park in the highlands. The landscape here is just breath taking and I love going past it when on car journeys when going to either Glasgow or Edinburgh 

I hope you guys enjoyed this little section on my artwork that I'm doing for college and the next blog shall be sometime in march with new pieces of jewellery!
