Holy Island Painting Blog In my studio I was able to compose a scene of Holy Island. I used a combination of sketchbook watercolours and photographs of the castle and a yacht at low tide from an estuary. This new original watercolour is also available as a limited edition print in several sizes starting from £65 unframed. Read how Alan uses certain techniques to capture the beauty of Holy Island Lindisfarne Art on his Painting Blog. In the previous post I wrote about a painting project for a client. He has a holiday home on the Northumbrian coast. I’ve painted 4 new watercolours for his property which have been reproduced as limited edition prints. It’s been fun making several trips to parts of the coast which are very familiar to me to get fresh reference. I have lots of fond memories of childhood holidays to places like Bamburgh, Budle Bay, Seahouses and Beadnell. As a parent and grandparent, we regularly make trips up the coast to create happy memories for our kids too. During the Easter Holidays, we crossed the causeway to Holy Island so that I could get reference of the boats at low tide. Unfortunately, there were just a few small boats. I still painted a couple of sketchbook watercolours to get some ideas.
