Dunstanburgh Castle painting, an original Northumbrian oil pastel painting of a lovely coastal view of cows grazing infront of Dunstanburgh Castle on the walk from Craster village to Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland.

Title: Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland – ‘Shrouded In Mist’. An original oil pastel painting.

We walked from the quaint village of Craster along the stunning coastline towards Dunstanburgh Castle in Northumberland.

It was August and warm but the castle in the distance was shrouded in mist, like a blanket hushing it into silence.

The salty air from the sea filling our lungs. The cows in the meadow grazing happily as we walked past. With each step, the castle emerges more prominently from the mist, its majestic silhouette drawing us closer. Immerse yourself in the enchanting ambiance of Dunstanburgh Castle through my evocative painting.

The Process:-

Drawing on my degree in Fine Art painting and drawing, I create a charcoal drawing of the landscape first. I love drawing with charcoal and concentrate on the composition without worrying about the colour at this point. I may make several charcoal versions until I am happy with the composition.

When I am happy with the charcoal landscape I create an oil pastel painting of the same landscape in colour. I do love colour and like to use lots of it. I also love my oil pastels and use them a bit like paint, I can push the pigment around with my fingers during the creation process to create a ‘painterly’ feel to the piece.

Finally I move onto creating the wet felted landscape out of wool, using the oil pastel painting closely for reference.
