Scotish landscape or why old time Artists loved painting on air
Hello my dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to share with you this landscape that we have seen on the way to our home in Scotland. When I fist seen this nature I immediately thought about the old Artists who draw and paint outside from the natural scene.
Many used early morning or evening in order to get the beauty of clear sky and long shadows that is dropping by roofs on walls of buildings. There is beautiful contrast between part of the buildings in shadow and another highlighted by sunshine.
Scotland is very famous by its impressive low clouds, the sky always look dramatic because there are dark grey and very light clouds. The hills are covered with grass that is also not monochrome but has yellow and light green but also a lot of earthy colours, especially because of fields.
Do you know that the same scene looks different every day that means if you look at this scene next day it will be maybe more sunny or rainy that means if you are a person who does painting in nature they have to be quick to capture the main moments. The more time passes, the shadows will change their shapes and travel from one place to another, that is why I am very pleased that nowadays we can use our cameras to capture the moments and do our drawings or paintings on following days.
When we live in certain place and accept it as usual and do not see those little treasures. It is funny that we hear from others how beautiful our place is only then we realise that it is true and we should appreciate what we have and where we live.
One of the best thing about Scotland is the vast nature and wild life. We still need to travel around and to learn this land. Hope to be back with more beauty of this country.
