Here’s an oil sketch of one of my favourite Winifred Nicholson paintings (‘Isle of Canna’). I have attempted to capture the vibrant palette of her original work – I was also interested to see how the violet and yellow ochre combination worked, it seems full of possibilities!

    Very nice Christopher – your sky colours are stronger than in her painting (always hard to tell from a reproduction though) but you’ve certainly caught that vivid ochre in the foreground. I thought maybe the white was a bit stark but she does the same thing so a faithful transcription!
