Northumberland Painting of of the beach approach to Dunstanburgh Castle. An original felt painting by felt artist Janine Jacques.
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 apsolutely stunning beach and scenery. It really does take your breath away and make you feel alive.
I walked bare foot along the shore line towards to castle for a closer look. Other people were there walking dogs and flying kites on the beach. My kids and husband were body boarding in the sea, trying to catch the perfect wave. These days and memories are always so special.
The original felt artwork measures approximately 27cm (h) x 48cm (w).
The mounted felt artwork measures approximately 45.5cm (h) x 66.6cm (w).
Unframed:- The final felt landscape painting is attached to a piece of acid free mount board and mounted up ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.

I can arrange for the felt artwork to be framed (UK only) and posted out to you. Please find the framing option below. Framing times will vary dependig on how busy my framer is at the time.

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 mount board and mounted as seen then posted out ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.
