Created during Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year in 2016, heat one.
Cathy was in Pod 7 and had 4 hours to create a painting. A tall order for a painting process that usually takes days. The result is very different as a result, but has a charm of it’s own. A less favoured aspect of Scotney Castle which shows the moat covered in water lillies. You can read about her experience on the programme here.

All copyrights are retained by the artist, and the artwork cannot be reproduced without consent from Cathy Read.This is the original Scotney Castle painting and was initially drawn with pencil onto watercolour paper, at Scotney. These lines were then drawn over using masking fluid and then painted using watercolour paint and acrylic ink. Salt was also used in the process and some of the ink blown around using a straw. Once the painting was dry-ish the masking fluid was removed to reveal the finished painting.
