doll wrapped with shreds of cloth to look like fisher
women when painting in Newcastle England.
I was specially pleased with my own women on the
hilltops in my ‘Massacre of the Women of Braes’ (page
29) a big 2m oil in Sabhal mor Ostaig, the University
of the Highlands and Islands, in the Isle of Skye, and, I
believe, one of my better paintings. With little drawing,
the hilltop figures were actually drawn freely around in
white paint, I see the cripple woman, the pregnant one,
Caillach the old lady, a young family, a girl or granny. I
drew angry women in preparation for a full year before
attempting the painting. All those watercolour sketches
sold! (Maybe to angry women?) It’s the overall image
not the detail that one hopes to achieve - the less detail
the better. Of course that comes with skill, I often
attempt to show form by what I call, ‘a sensitive line’.
Remember painting is only drawing with a brush.
Now some landscapes with figures please - happy
sketching and painting.
