Harbour view.

This is the reference photo for my next drawing, taken in Oban, Scotland.

I like the limited palette, the silhouetted boats and the atmosphere of calm at the day’s end.

Harbour sketches.

image

Boats moored in Oban harbour, Scotland.

Pencil on drawing paper.

Two, tiny thumbnail sketches of the reference photo for the composition and values. Although I work from memory without any reference images in front of me, sketching helps me absorb the information I want to convey.

“Dunollie Castle Ruins, Oban.”

image

Castle Dunollie Ruins, Oban, Scotland.

Pastel painting on white drawing paper, approx 80mm x 103mm.

A soft and hazy painting with subtle colours. Remembering a peaceful, early morning walk along Gallanach Road to the Kerrera ferry.
