Loch Callater in Scotland

Charcoal on Paper 2024

This charcoal drawing depicts Loch Callater in the Scottish Highlands. Dark slopes surround the lighter surface of the water. The subject has a family connection: the artist’s mother-in-law has returned to the loch on many holidays.

Technique

Layers of charcoal establish the tonal range. Blended passages in the water and sky contrast with sharper marks along the surrounding slopes.

Inspiration

The drawing was made in response to the artist’s mother-in-law’s attachment to Loch Callater, a place she visits to rest and spend time outdoors.
