BEYOND THE FAIRY POOLS | Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye, Scotland | Sheep Painting in Watercolour | Ep44
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лют 2023
- Hello & welcome along on this walk! If you're new here - my name is Sarah and every month I head out on a walk with my faithful companion Jack Spaniels, to explore somewhere in this beautiful country of Scotland and hopefully find something to paint back in my studio at home.
Today we are exploring somewhere new on the magical Isle of Skye - which is where I now live!! I recently moved here with my partner Willie, to start a new life in a wee cottage. We have been to Glen Brittle before, but never got any further than the famous Fairy Pools...
Today, we went beyond the Fairy Pools carpark to find out what there was at the far end of the glen and it was so worth it! We start at the stunning Glen Brittle Beach, before climbing up to the lochan at Coire Lagan and ending up at the highest waterfall on the Isle of Skye.
Along the way, I spot some sheep with amazing (and slightly intimidating) curly horns, so I decided to take a photo back to my studio to try and paint one. Watch until the end of the video to see how I got on!
If you enjoyed this video and you haven't already, please do hit subscribe and check out my other videos - including the three special Skye episodes, where we explore some incredible Scottish scenery. Join me again next week as we explore somewhere else in Scotland and look for painting inspiration...

I’m a day later getting to watch this video. This place was so beautiful! The sheep looks so realistic that I feel like I could touch his fur. ❤️
I love your kind of detailed art. Loads of talent there. 🤗😍
Absolutely beautiful!
You and Willie are such a wonderful team, and Jack a lovely free-spirited animal. Thank you for the beautiful world you bring to our homes. XXX
how lovely, well said, kind regards jenny&dave. UK
The mountains look so beautiful covered with snow. Your sheep painting looked amazing.
Looking forward to your next video. ❤️🏔🐏
Your painting shows an admirable skill in texture. Thank you!
The sheep, the coo, and now you need a pony by the sea to complete a three piece display of farm animals. The sheep's eyes peeping out behind the horns is so sweet, you wonder how they can see at all. Lovely to see the waterfall with the snow on behind it as well!
Wow! What a hike! Incredible views. Those sunny days in winter are usually the coldest! But, you all looked well-prepared for it.
The painting is gorgeous…your detail work and depiction of light and shadow are amazing, Sarah!
Excellent video and drone photography, Willie.
Lovely walk and lovely art! Thanks for letting us watch you work. Such talent!

Great vlog Sarah....looked like a nice walk and Willie catching beautiful scenery. I loved the sheep coming to life, an amazing painting and a lot of hard work. 👍🙏
Nice to see you with a new video out walking about. The mountains there are beautiful with the snow. Glad Jack Spaniels has a jacket too to keep warm. Your painting of sheep came out incredible, so life like! You really are good.
So glad you're publishing new content again. Really enjoying Living the Skye Life but the quiet beauty in your walks can't be beat.
Thanks!! I’m so glad you enjoy my walks 😊
Such beautiful scenery and exceptional painting. Loved the time lapse while you painted with Willie’s peaceful calming music in the background. Well done to both.
You are a phenomenal artist!

Spectacular drone pictures and fascinating development of a sheep painting. Excited to see lots more and definitely more Jack Spaniels 🤗⛰️🐏🐾
Thank you. What a happy dog!
Its a beautiful place where you live and the views are stunning, no wonder you get so inspired to paint. The shading on your painting of the sheep is so beautiful, thank you for sharing 💕🇦🇺
Amazing scenery on the walk, and an amazing job on the painting too!
Great to see you walk and paint again. Talent like yours should not go unused!
Thanks!! Plenty more adventures to come this year 😊
Moving to Skye pays off. The oustanding landscape is amazing and it is allready in your soul. Your painting and your selfconfidence as an artist made a leap forward. It realy stands out. The same seems to happen to Willies music. Next years winter you will manage to paint the snowy coastal mountains! Thank you both - sorry, three.
That is one of my favorite hikes on Skye! I did it in December on a gorgeous sunny day, just before a big snow storm. I'd love to be there after all that snow! So beautiful!
It was stunning, although I definitely want to go back on a sunny day to see the lochan defrosted! We are hoping to get up the Munros from there at some point when the weather is on our side 😊
Hi Sarah, I just love watching your walks and your paintings are amazing.
Thank you Sarah. Stunning walk on a beautiful day. Hard to pick a favorite painting, they are all so beautiful. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Those views from the corrie, both down to the shore, and up to the Cullens, were absolutely amazing. And, what epic weather you had that day. Thanks so much for taking us along! ATB
😍 Amazing video, Sarah! 🏞 The Isle of Skye looks stunning! 🏴 The sheep painting is so detailed! 🎨 Can't wait for more of your adventures! 🚶♀🐑
Such beautiful scenery! Stay safe on the ice! And the Coo is in good company with that amazing sheep. It only makes it harder to decide which print to buy. Thanks for sharing this beautiful island!
Aww thanks so much! We were very careful with the conditions and made sure to not go beyond our capabilities 😊 I’d love to do some training in winter climbing though!
You are a fabulous artist. I have always envied those who are able to see the shades in an image and capture them in a painting!
The views on your walk are stunning and your painting is gorgeous.
I just watching your beautiful walks ,i wish i was as talented as you ,your painting is amazing ,and Willies guitar playing is fabulos .

I love your paintings, so are so talented. Both of you should be made ambassadors by the isle of Sky tourism board because you really make me want to go and visit !
Wonderful to join you again on your walks Sarah. Stunning bit of countryside to choose for the walk on such a lovely clear day. Your painting of that sheep was superb, very lifelike.

Wow 🤩 🎩 off ❤️🏴🐾🥰
I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.
I watch your videos with my 94 year old Mom who has dementia. Very Zen. The scenery, Jack Spaniels, and your beautiful paintings. So calming and perfect! Wonderful way for me to relax in the evening.
Aww that’s so lovely to hear Mary. I hope your mum enjoys the videos too - my gran had Alzheimer’s a few years ago now and I know how difficult that situation can be. Sending love to you both 🥰
This hike was breathtakingly beautiful! I love the accompanying painting as well. You are so talented and I can see how the beauty of Nature around you gives inspiration for your work
I've missed your videos Sarah! I've been loving you and Willie's Skye Life videos, but I also love yours, with the scenery and your gorgeous paintings. I love Willie's new tune, I could tell it was new lol, with a bit of your old painting tune in.
Happy 1st video of 2023! Can't wait for more 🤗
Great beauty in GOD earth, you capture it perfect,enjoy every minute.thank you
I started to learn watercolor 10 months ago, I enjoy watching your videos. The fact this painting took 13 hours to complete made me feel much better about my attempts. Videos make it look like a great painting can happen within an hour two-not true 😝. Thanks for the dose of reality. Beautiful walk and beautiful painting!
Brava! Stunning art and surroundings. And adorable Jack Spaniels. 🥰
Where you went on this trek was absolutely breath take. The sheep painting is amazing. Well done Sarah.
You are so talented. Beautiful piece 👏
Love learning about your process as. You paint. Take care!
Wow, the scenery is beautiful, and you are an amazing painter.
My goodness, Sarah...it is astonishing watching you paint, what a gift you have! Thanks for sharing the walk too.
Thank you Debra! I had a lot of fun doing this painting 😊
You are so talented. it's a pleasure to watch you paint! Take care if you're travelling out places alone xx
Stunning views and absolutely world-class artistry Sarah! You have improved leaps and bounds. You always leave me amazed.
Another fantastic walking adventure and superb art piece 👌
