Mull of Galloway Lighthouse

Description

Watercolour. 30cm x 40cm.

This Lighthouse was built at the most southerly point in Scotland, at the very tip of the Mull of Galloway.

I made 2 sketches on location:


perched in a nook behind a massive foghorn halfway down the cliff, looking back to the lighthouse, with the wind blowing a gale and rain storms threatening on the horizon.

I then got back to the studio (my living room ;) ) and made a compositional sketch:


to tweak the positions to fit better, then painted away. Was a pretty quick piece to paint (probably due to the preparatory sketches), done in 2 sessions about an hour each.
