‘Split Rock’

Watercolour

This small watercolour sketch was produced quickly on the spot, as a demonstration for a client during an organised sketching day around Assynt. We started the day sketching coastal landscapes from Clachtoll broch before tackling the impressive and unusual Split Rock.

A pleasant, if rather cool, day in early September, the water was a myriad of green tones which were quite tricky to capture, especially in a lightening-fast demonstration! But I reckon I caught the feel of the scene, which we were lucky to have to ourselves that day.

Size approximately 16 cm x 24 cm. Sold unframed, double-mounted in textured ‘antique white’

‘Split Rock & Clachtoll salmon bothy’

Watercolour

Memories of summer at the glorious white sand beaches of Clachtoll, Sutherland. The iconic ‘Split Rock’ draws the eye and in the distance we can see Cul Beag, Stac Pollidh and the Coigach peninsular across the water.

Painted in artists’ quality watercolours on Arches paper and double-mounted in Antique White, this would make an ideal Christmas present for someone who loves our pristine beaches and clear, turquoise waters.

Size approximately 39cm x 19cm

Price, including double mount and UK postage: £145
