We’re finally away again on a proper Scottish adventure—Tanya and I have the campervan packed up and we’re heading around a Scottish island with the paints and sketchbooks ready. This video is very much about the reality of painting trips: finding a spot, dealing with whatever the weather decides to do, and trying to get something down that feels like the place rather than just a “pretty picture”. If you enjoy the travel side as much as the painting, you’ll feel right at home on this one. On these trips I keep my materials simple and dependable, and I’m using my Winsor & Newton Artist-quality watercolours. I’ve listed the colours I use so you can see exactly how I’m thinking about a practical plein air palette—earths for the land and buildings, strong blues for the sea and sky, and a couple of reds and violets for warmth and accents. If you’re planning your own campervan painting trip, the main takeaway is to keep your kit consistent so you can focus on light, shapes and mood—because Scotland will change on you in minutes.
