WORLD HERITAGE SITE Forth Rail Bridge, North Queensferry + Painting Seashells In Watercolour - Ep28
Hello & welcome along on this walk! If you're new here - my name is Sarah and each week I head out on a walk with my faithful companion Jack Spaniels, to explore somewhere in this beautiful country of Scotland and hopefully find something to paint back in my studio at home.
Today we are visiting a UNESCO World Heritage Site - one of only six in Scotland. Other examples worldwide are the Taj Mahal in India and the Great Wall of China.
After discovering the industrial past of this coastal village, we walk through a local nature reserve to find one of Jack's favourite things - the beach! Here I finds some beautiful and fragile tiny scallop shells to photograph & paint.
I've never painted seashells before, so I was little nervous about trying this. Watch to the end to see how they turned out!
If you enjoyed this video and you haven't already, please check out my other videos - including the three special Skye episodes, where we explore some incredible Scottish scenery. Join me again next week as we explore somewhere else in Scotland and look for painting inspiration...

This channel! Is. Everything. Perfect. Thank you Sarah, for the walk, Jack Spaniels cuteness, the filming, the magical painting, the history! Love it!
I really enjoy the peaceful nature of your videos and your love of your landscape and history. Beautifully captured. 🌸
Definitely yes on the shading. It was unfinished without it. It also just made the shells pop out of the page even more. Great walk!
Very interesting history. Beautiful views of the bridge. Well done! Lovely art work as usual. Thanks, Suzy
Sarah, the sea shells are beautiful. This type of scallop shells are some of my favorites. I always manage to bring back a bag full of shells from our trips to Mexican beaches. Once again you have captured every little detail of the lovely colorful shells. I think Jack Spaniels sticks are getting longer each time. Thank you for another lovely walk. Take care. 🌻🐕🇺🇸
Another beautiful, restful video, your shell painting is beautiful they look so real I feel like I could pick them up.
Beautiful painting of such beautiful shells! Love your walks and art...
Definitely like the shadows! Beautiful!
Your shell painting is amazing, and drop shadows really were ideal. Thanks for the walk. ❤
You both never fail to amaze me with what you are able to do and film. I am seeing you in a different light now as I have just had cataracts removed from my eyes and WOW life is much brighter and colourful. Keep up the good work all three of you
Your walks and talks and photographs are so relaxing. Music is wonderful, and I love watching you paint!!
Thanks.
Marvellous! Oh without a shadow of doubt it was poetry in motion dare we say it Shelleyike😁
Hi again, PS, your painting of the shells was mesmerizing and the accuracy of the colouring a pleasure to see. Loved the shading it added to the 3D quality of the shells. Made me want to go down to the sea shore now.Thanks
Lovely as always, a wonderful painting as always ❤
Another great place to see and to learn the history of the bridges and other areas. Jack is sure happy carrying his big stick. What nice pathways to be walking on in the park. Pretty scallop shells. The painting turned out really well. The details were great. Fantastic artwork Sarah.
