Northumbrian painting, an original oil pastel painting of the beach approach to Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland, by Yorkshire landscape artist Janine Jacques.
MEDIUM: Original oil pastel painting
STYLE: Northumbrian coastal landscape art
LOCATION: Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland
SUBJECT: Beach, dunes and Dunstanburgh Castle
It was a cool August day in Northumberland. We packed our lunch and drove to Dunstanburgh Golf Club and parked on the roadside just before you get to the club. These parking spaces are limited, so it’s worth getting there as early as possible.
We made our way across the sand dunes and walked onto the beach. What an amazing view you get of Dunstanburgh Castle. It’s an absolutely stunning beach and landscape. It really does take your breath away and make you feel alive.
I walked barefoot along the shoreline towards the castle for a closer look. Other people were there walking dogs and flying kites on the beach. My kids and husband were bodyboarding in the sea, trying to catch the perfect wave. These days and memories are always so special.
TITLE: Beach Approach, Dunstanburgh Castle
MEDIUM: Original oil pastel painting
SIZE: Approximately 18cm high x 26cm wide
PRESENTATION: The final artwork is mounted in a double-thickness acid-free mount measuring 36cm x 53cm and posted out ready for you to take to a framer and choose your own frame.
Please note: colours and tones may vary slightly between the original artwork, photographs and your screen.
I can arrange for the oil pastel artwork to be framed (UK only) and posted out to you. Please see the framing option below. Framing times will vary depending on how busy my framer is at the time.
Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I create a charcoal drawing of the landscape first, followed by a colourful oil pastel painting of the scene. I use these as references when developing the final artwork.
I love working with oil pastels and use them a bit like paint, pushing the pigment around with my fingers during the creation process to create a more painterly feel to the piece.
This original oil pastel painting would make a beautiful and unique gift for someone who loves Northumberland, the coast or Dunstanburgh Castle. It could make a special birthday, wedding, Christmas or anniversary gift, or simply be a lovely piece to buy for yourself.
