Kisimul Castle view.

Kisimul Castle from Castlebay on the Isle of Barra, Scotland.

This bland, poorly composed and low resolution photo is the reference image for my next drawing. It may not look much but it’s inspired me to create a dark and moody painting.

Kisimul Castle sketch.

image

6B pencil on drawing paper.

There wasn’t much going on in the reference photo so I changed the orientation to portrait and added some foreground diagonals and colour notes.

“Kisimul Castle, Isle of Barra”.

image

Pastel on white drawing paper, approx 146mm x 90mm.

Subdued colours and dark tones make for a brooding and moody interpretation of Kisimul Castle, protecting the village of Castlebay.
