  • New Watercolour: House of Moneymusk

    The House of Monymusk is a 15th century castle set on a traditional Scottish Estate in rural Aberdeenshire.

    This painting is a welcome addition to the website collection. It demonstrates a standard of building existing throughout the north-east. The day visited was clear, fresh and sunny, the resulting picture showed this when the various washes and details were added that gave a good depth to the picture.
