I was fortunate to travel up to the East Neuk of Fife earlier in the year to do some sketchbook watercolours of three of the very picturesque fishing villages dotted along the coastline.
For this particular watercolour painting of Pittenweem, I wanted to retain the loose sketchbook qualities of the “en plein air” study so I used a hand made Indian rag paper with deckled edges and a rough surface. I’ve deliberatly kept the brush marks lively and fresh without loosing too much detail.

For over 20 years I’ve enjoyed painting in Scotland. Recently I decided to revisit some of the fishing villages that I’ve painted in the past along the East Neuk of Fife. The weather has been dreadful over the winter months which hindered my plans right up until early February when I was finally able to travel with the promise of sunny weather.
I managed to visit three of the fishing villages which I have painted before and have published as limited edition prints, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail.
Even though it was sunny, it was still very cold but I was still able to do a sketchbook watercolour at each one of the harbours. The one of Crail seen here was painted from a high vantage point looking into the low winter sun.

I am delighted with the picture I bought from you (St Andrews harbour, early morning). It is a gift, but I like it so much I may buy another for myself ! I also want you to know how much I appreciated your help on the phone, the prompt despatch, the superlative box and wrapping, and the personal touch of a note from Alan Reed inside. That sort of service is truly excellent and deserves praise. Many thanks indeed.
