Oil Painting - Isle of Skye

This is a recent oil painting of a previous acrylic study I dId a couple of years ago. I used a larger canvas with this version and changed the sky quite a bit. I used two reference photos that I took about ten years ago. The sky changed so much in a few minutes that I liked the sky in one photo and the foreground and mid ground in another photo. My oil painting uses my favorite parts of each photo.

Here’s the painting.

## Broadford Bay Cottages, oil on 18”x24” canvas

![2D21E4F2-0201-4FEF-8AAA-1D1B9DD6E472.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQ4Q94USxxcaSEEeZ72mFpRDYQDmxCTqQB7W8sXs3H2Ym/2D21E4F2-0201-4FEF-8AAA-1D1B9DD6E472.jpeg)

Here are my process photos.
First I used a pink gesso ground color and painted the horizon and cottages first. I wanted to ensure I got them sized and positioned appropriately before moving on.

Then I started blocking in the large shapes.

I put at least four coats of color on the field before I added the highlighting for the wildflowers. It may be a little overkill, but I got to experiment with a variety of ways to paint the flowers before settling on the large blocks of light yellow in the final version.

Here are the two reference photos I used.

That's beautiful! I thought it's a photo! It's really realistic. Good job anyway.
