Northumerland landscape of Bamburgh Castle with wild flowers growing in the sand dunes in the foreground. A very atmospheric picture created with charcoal and chalk.
We went on holiday to Seahouses in Northumberland and really love it up there and have now been a few times now.
This Northumberland landscape of Bamburgh Castle is from just outside Bamburgh on the way to Seahouses. If you park just outside Bamburgh and walk to the beach as you walk over the dunes and look towards Bamburgh Castle you can see this lovely view. During August there are many beautiful wild flowers growing amongst the grassy dunes. Giving the Northumberland landscape and extra splash of colour.
I created this view in charcoal first, then created it in colour with oil pastels. This version has so much atmosphere due to it being in black and white.
This is an original charcoal drawing, created by hand and inspired by a Northumerland landscape of Bamburgh Castle.
Working in charcoal allows me to focus on light, texture and atmosphere, capturing a sense of place in a simple, expressive way.
This 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 final artwork is mounted in an acid free mount and framed by a professional conservation framer in an oak frame, which has been hand painted black, with normal glass. Framed size approx: size 60cm x 59cm.
*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.
