Scottish Seascape Painting “Live For The Moment”

It was August on a chilly, rainy, windy day in Scotland. We arrived at Belhaven beach wrapped up warm. The sky was dark and moody and the rain softly pitter pattered around us.

The beach was mostly deserted – just the odd dog walker.

Just the sound of the waves, rain and our children laughing in the water, warm in their wet suits. The rain continued to fall softly. We were on holiday so had to ‘live for the moment’.

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.
