2f – The Highlanders
The Highlanders
There is something about battlefields. A strange serenity. I’ve never visited Culloden, but I have visited Scotland (a pic from my hols years ago served as a model for the topography), and a few battlefields in Normandy and Flanders. I wanted to get that sense of stillness, to imagine Culloden as a stage to this explosion of activity, to the terrible events there, and also the strange element of
humour in The Highlanders. I’ve stilled the image through subtle vertical streaks in the watercolour, and tried to create a sense of the Scottish hillsides through strong line-work.
