On the Ramparts
On Stob Coire an t-Sneachda
Watercolour
25 x 36 cm
This is another view of the edge of the Cairngorms plateau. On this northern side there is a series of deep corries, like the ramparts of a castle surmounted by rocky battlements. The sun barely reaches into these deep places and snow often lies here throughout the summer. Coire an t-Sneachda means 'Corrie of the snow'.

You use that warm and cool conrast to good advantage Keith... to avoid leaving us "out of the sun"... like the ramparts!
Another gem!
Good painting!
Warmest regards,

I also resisted the temptation to put any detail in the background. I let the washes run together and then left it. I'm glad I did because it really helps with the recession.
All the best,
Keith
