Virtual Paintout - Scotland!

The Virtual Paintout location for January 2016 was Scotland.  Bill Guffey chooses the monthly location for artists to virtually find their view to paint using Google Street View.  I really enjoy looking around cities and countries that I'll never be able to visit in person.  The areas I saw of Scotland looked beautiful.  What a charming place to visit.  It was definitely quite a change from the past several month's paint-outs in Ecuador, Istanbul, and the Philippines.  Amazing!  I like to use the virtual paint-outs as practice for the local ones I go on.  Brush miles are always a good thing.

  1. Lovely paintings. Have you used a sharp knife for the boats on the top painting?

    1. Hi Catharina, thank you. I used white gouache and a small brush for the masts.

  2. Both are beautiful, Sherry. You are definitely getting your brush miles in. Having been to Scotland, I can honestly say that you've captured it.
