Holy Island art of Lindisfarn Castle walled garden, Northumberland, created using charcoal and chalk. A beautiful black and white piece of art.
We love Northumberland and have been many times in recent years. We always go to Holy Island for a little wonder around. The last time we went we got tickets to go into Lindisfarne Castle. It’s a great place to visit – full of history and fantastic views all around the island. We learnt there is also a walled garden on the island – apparently often missed by visitors (including us on previous visits). So this time around we also visited the walled garden.
This is the view from inside the walled garden looking out to Lindisfarne Castle on the hill. We were so lucky to see all the flowers out in full colour. It is such an insipational view I felt I had to capture it in felt, to remember this view and our trip to Holy Island.
This is an original charcoal drawing, created by hand and inspired by a view on Holy Island in Northumberland.
Working in charcoal allows me to focus on light, texture and atmosphere, capturing a sense of place in a simple, expressive way.
This smaller piece is ideal if you’re looking for an original artwork that is easy to display or gift.
Each drawing is unique and part of an ongoing exploration of landscape through mark-making and tone.
Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a small piece to bring a sense of the landscape into your home.
The original Holy Island art measures approximately 19cm (H) x 19cm (W).
unframed:- The final artwork is mounted in a mount (12″x12″) and posted out ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.
*Colours/ tones may vary slightly from the photographed work.
Drawing on my degree in Fine Art painting and drawing, I create a charcoal drawing first, then a colourful oil pastel painting of the same scene. I then use both of these to create the felt landscape out of wool and other materials. I find creating the scene in oil pastel first helps to give my felt landscapes more of a painterly feel.
