Bamburgh Castle painting, felt art, Seascape Painting, Northumberland, artwork approx 30cm (H) x 30cm (W).

Bamburgh Castle painting, a seascape felt painting made from wool, of a sunset over Bamburgh Castle from Holy Island, Northumberland.

Bamburgh Castle painting titled “Blue For You” | an original felt art landscape.

We drove from Seahouses and crossed the causeway to visit Holy Island. Excited to be there we wondered around in the beautiful sunshine seeing all the sights the island had to offer. If your going don’t miss the walled garden near Lindisfarne castle – it’s well worth a visit.

At the lookout tower we saw this view. Looking over the water to Bamburgh Castle. The sea so calm, the sand dunes just visible above the water. I love that you can see Bamburgh Castle from so many beauty spots in Northumberland.

Called “Blue For You” due to the main colour and as a family we love Northumberland and look forward to re-visiting one day.

The Process

Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use merino wool in lots of different colours (as you would tubes of paint) and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base (as you would paint on canvas).

Once finished the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the ‘wet felting’ technique to make the wool painting into a piece of felt. You do this by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wools scales and the friction (rubbing/rolling) binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15-20% and you end up with one piece of felt material.

Once the felted picture is dry I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.

The final felt art is attached to a piece of acid free mount board and mounted as seen then posted out ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.
