My god Jamie, that's incredible.

This is one of the best shots I've seen in terms of composition.

....And holy shit it's a painting .... 5!

Brilliant Jamie. I love your work!

its amazing that scotland can be so impressive, more amazing that thats a painting and not a photo

Just checked your site out - respect!!

Outstanding, where can I get a copy of this ?

Thanks for the comments folk. I'm afraid the only record I have of this painting is this photo taken on my compact, so enlargement above A4 is not really possible.

no idea how you do it, but it is brilliant

I'll have to get one of those cameras!

Can UKC not do a piece on you Jamie? visit your studio, show us how you do it etc etc. This is absolutely amazing.

Brilliant painting this jamie one of my favorite mountains how do you get the sharpness and detail.

Thanks! Sharpness and detail come from layers of good quality acrylic to build up bright colours and sharp contrasts, and fine-tipped brushes for the endless detail. I use Jo Sonja acrylic from Australia - top pigments, completely lightfast, nice smooth consistency. This painting was about 1.3m tall. Yes, a UKC article would be great. I'm on it!
