Bamburgh by Fiona Phipps

Really good charcoal Fiona, those breaking waves and rocks are great

You have really caught the drama of Bamburgh - very good work!

Great dramatic effect, excellent picture.

Beautifully done Fiona, looks so stormy could be part of a movie set .

Wonderfully dramatic Fiona. Amazing what YOU can do with charcoal.

Full of drama Fiona a great charcoal.

Super strong image Fiona and the sky is very well done.

Hmm… this is impressive Fiona! You’ve got everything just right…

Excellent drawing Fiona, it's a great location.

You have done this so well, great work !!

Very impressive and imposing Bamburgh. The rough sea adds drama to the scene.

Now that is powerful. Makes me want to watch The Last Kingdom again!

Very effective and dramatic with the chalk and charcoal.

A really wild and windy night captured beautifully Fiona.

That’s a knock image Fiona. High drama superbly portrayed.

The credit is not mine, I just used the tones of the original. I am grateful for your great response, thank you so much for commenting. Marjorie, so glad you are an Uhtred fan, me too! Read all the books and watched the series…..I think I’m up to 4 times!

This is brilliant Fiona!

Dramatic, like the charcoal and chalk effect.

Fabulous atmosphere.

Magical

Hamburgh Castle always looks very dramatic in photos, and it’s on my list to visit. You’ve underlined the drama here with the rocks being battered by the sea. Great contrasts, super drawing.

Bamburgh! Flippin’ predictive typing! 🫣

Power of the North Sea very well captured.

Excellent charcoal Fiona - full of movement.

Brilliant !

Amazes me how this iconic castle is interpreted in so many different ways Fiona. I admire your dramatic version, which portrays the wildness and power of the North Sea.

So atmospheric Fiona, you know how to handle charcoal to dramatic effect.

Thank you ever so much everyone for your kind and encouraging feedback. As I mentioned, the credit belongs to P Phillips, I just interpreted it with different media and scruffiness! 😂 Tessa, you must visit. No photo or painting can do the sight of Bamburgh castle as you drive towards it justice. It truly is magnificent! It’s ancient history seeps from every stone.

So dramatic and atmospheric, beautiful charcoal Fiona

Thank you Romila, much appreciated.

And a very inspiring painting too, Fiona.

Thank you Sandra, very kind.
