It's a view from the bay at Lamlash (Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Àrd) in North Ayrshire on the Isle of Arran, looking towards 'Holy Isle' on the Firth of Clyde.
It was painted using watercolour pencils, oil pastel, and watercolours.
This is one of a series of images that I have produced after our lovely, albeit short holiday on the Isle of Arran. I promised my mental ill health counsellor, that I would do some watercolour painting while on the Isle and upon my return.
For the sky: Watercolour pencils were used near to the horizon and dabbed in some places higher up, then wetted. Winsor Blue Red Shade watercolour paint, my favourite 'grey' of Venetian Red and Prussian Blue in varying intensities, and a mixture of Chinese White and Yellow Ochre. The latter being replicated in the sea along with Winsor Blue R/S.
