Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design graduate, Iain Robertson is a fine artist and photographer based in the Highlands. He has dedicated his 40 year career to capturing the broad and ever-changing landscapes of the Highlands and Islands.
Light and Shade in the South Sutor Forest Iain's latest collection was created from sketches made over the course of two years, as he walked the Hundred Steps path close to Cromarty. He was captured by the movement of light amongst the historic birch and beech trees. These small sketches were transformed into images over a metre tall in his studio on Church Street, Cromarty, using chalk, charcoal, oil pastels, watercolour and acrylic paint, barbecue charcoal and even Tippex to convey the combination of strength and delicacy that create the forest atmosphere. |
