BEYOND THE FAIRY POOLS | Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye, Scotland | Sheep Painting in Watercolour | Ep44

- Hello & welcome along on this walk! If you're new here - my name is Sarah and every month 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 exploring somewhere new on the magical Isle of Skye - which is where I now live!! I recently moved here with my partner Willie, to start a new life in a wee cottage. We have been to Glen Brittle before, but never got any further than the famous Fairy Pools...
Today, we went beyond the Fairy Pools carpark to find out what there was at the far end of the glen and it was so worth it! We start at the stunning Glen Brittle Beach, before climbing up to the lochan at Coire Lagan and ending up at the highest waterfall on the Isle of Skye.
Along the way, I spot some sheep with amazing (and slightly intimidating) curly horns, so I decided to take a photo back to my studio to try and paint one. Watch until the end of the video to see how I got on!
If you enjoyed this video and you haven't already, please do hit subscribe and 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...

Hi, breathtaking walk, and a truly beautiful painting of the sheep. Its been an enjoyable journey with you, both trekking and watching your paintings, thank you for sharing.xx
The sheep, the coo, and now you need a pony by the sea to complete a three piece display of farm animals. The sheep's eyes peeping out behind the horns is so sweet, you wonder how they can see at all. Lovely to see the waterfall with the snow on behind it as well!

Sarah , I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos ! I am a 65 year old woman who has lived my life split between the UK and the US. I have always enjoyed art and hiking. Until I get a new knee hiking is a no go , but I can enjoy your hikes ! Thank you !
Spectacular drone pictures and fascinating development of a sheep painting. Excited to see lots more and definitely more Jack Spaniels 🤗⛰️🐏🐾
Moving to Skye pays off. The oustanding landscape is amazing and it is allready in your soul. Your painting and your selfconfidence as an artist made a leap forward. It realy stands out. The same seems to happen to Willies music. Next years winter you will manage to paint the snowy coastal mountains! Thank you both - sorry, three.
Great to see you walk and paint again. Talent like yours should not go unused!
Thanks!! Plenty more adventures to come this year 😊

Amazing scenery on the walk, and an amazing job on the painting too!
I watch your videos with my 94 year old Mom who has dementia. Very Zen. The scenery, Jack Spaniels, and your beautiful paintings. So calming and perfect! Wonderful way for me to relax in the evening.
Aww that’s so lovely to hear Mary. I hope your mum enjoys the videos too - my gran had Alzheimer’s a few years ago now and I know how difficult that situation can be. Sending love to you both 🥰
Wonderful to join you again on your walks Sarah. Stunning bit of countryside to choose for the walk on such a lovely clear day. Your painting of that sheep was superb, very lifelike.
Those views from the corrie, both down to the shore, and up to the Cullens, were absolutely amazing. And, what epic weather you had that day. Thanks so much for taking us along! ATB
Stunning scenery and a magical art work. Thank you so much for sharing both your passions with us.
Blackfaces really are masters of the 'mess with me at your peril' look and you captured it briliantly Sarah. As always stunning scenery throughout the walk which your artistic side framed beautifully (when Jack would stop hogging the camera) 😁
Its a beautiful place where you live and the views are stunning, no wonder you get so inspired to paint. The shading on your painting of the sheep is so beautiful, thank you for sharing 💕🇦🇺
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
glad ya back.. yay more walks and painting woohoo.. xxx
Thanks!! Glad to be back 😊
I've missed your videos Sarah! I've been loving you and Willie's Skye Life videos, but I also love yours, with the scenery and your gorgeous paintings. I love Willie's new tune, I could tell it was new lol, with a bit of your old painting tune in.
Happy 1st video of 2023! Can't wait for more 🤗
You are a phenomenal artist!
I am so glad you take us on your adventures the scenery is beautiful as well as your paintings. :) :)
Aww thank you!!
Thank you Sarah. Stunning walk on a beautiful day. Hard to pick a favorite painting, they are all so beautiful. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Such beautiful scenery! Stay safe on the ice! And the Coo is in good company with that amazing sheep. It only makes it harder to decide which print to buy. Thanks for sharing this beautiful island!
Aww thanks so much! We were very careful with the conditions and made sure to not go beyond our capabilities 😊 I’d love to do some training in winter climbing though!
Mesmerising 🥰 thank you for sharing 💫
Hi Sarah, I just love watching your walks and your paintings are amazing.
I just watching your beautiful walks ,i wish i was as talented as you ,your painting is amazing ,and Willies guitar playing is fabulos .
Thank you. What a happy dog!
What a truly gifted Artist you are
Truly amazing drawing and painting 👍
The views on your walk are stunning and your painting is gorgeous.
I love your paintings, so are so talented. Both of you should be made ambassadors by the isle of Sky tourism board because you really make me want to go and visit !
Thank you for taking us along on such a beautiful hike and your Sheep painting is stunning.
Great video, amazing painting!
Such a brilliant walk and watching that painting come to life was amazing. Thank you for sharing, as always. Your voiceover voice is very soothing and beautiful.
Glen brittle is one of our favourite places to camp. If you visit when the campsite is open (spring onwards), the coffee and pastries in the little shop are great!
I started to learn watercolor 10 months ago, I enjoy watching your videos. The fact this painting took 13 hours to complete made me feel much better about my attempts. Videos make it look like a great painting can happen within an hour two-not true 😝. Thanks for the dose of reality. Beautiful walk and beautiful painting!
Where you went on this trek was absolutely breath take. The sheep painting is amazing. Well done Sarah.
So glad you are back! Made me laugh to see you break the ice on the little puddles! As always enjoying the scenery and to watch a piece of art in the process of being created is fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
We enjoy both channels but our cat Mickey Bean LOVES this one. We put it on and he sits for hours totally enthralled. Not sure what it is, your voice, Willies beautiful music, Jacks energy or all of the above.Please continue to make these! For Mickey Bean if nothing else lol
Wow, the scenery is beautiful, and you are an amazing painter.
Another brilliant outtake. We love the bloopers. Pats to Jack!
Thanks!!
Sarah I absolutely love your art. It's incredible. Your videoagraphy and photography is stunning.
Sarah,
This is my New Year Birthday gift from you:)
I was 81 on the 18th, hard to believe,and
watching you and Jack Spaniel, full of energy
fills me with the urge to get out and about!
Cheers,
Rik
Makes me homesick watching you but still love it.
Just in awe of your painting skills - could watch you paint for hours!
Hello again, it's Wendi. 😊 Although I'm strapped for time except the evenings when I'm not on duty (trauma surgeon, helicopter ER), formerly in the armed forces, I love having family time with my 4 teen daughters. ...I think your channel is exceptional, your art totally beautiful and evocative. Perhaps you could consider photography, and sell signed limited edition prints? When in France one year we saw astonishingly beautiful photographic old gold-framed pictures printed on professional quality Cibachrome. The picture were wide, many selling for £700 or more! It's certainly something to consider now Willie has a fine drone. ...I'm on a double shift tomorrow since half my team are sick with covid, so it may be a while before I come back to you. Wishing you all the very best, Wendi 🌻
The scenery is stunning, thank you for taking us along and sharing your beautiful world on Skye. Your art work is so lifelike and I like watching the different stages you go through,while you produce the painting .
I've been watching loads of your videos after coming to this channel from living the Skye life and I love all of them but it feels like you've really stepped up the film making in this one, the drone shots are awesome!! :D
Brava! Stunning art and surroundings. And adorable Jack Spaniels. 🥰
You are so talented. it's a pleasure to watch you paint! Take care if you're travelling out places alone xx
Holy coo, Sarah! You really did push yourself on this painting. Magnificent result. Good on you! It was well worth the wait.
Thank you!! It was a challenge but so fun to do 😊
You are a fabulous artist. I have always envied those who are able to see the shades in an image and capture them in a painting!
Hey Sarah, nice to see you paint after purchasing your thistle and coming over from your other channel. You are truly talented and love the sheep painting, Willie’s music was beautiful as well.
it’s like watching a magician…i watch your entire process & still say “how did she do that?” The details blow my mind! Looking forward to you capturing the essence of your new location.
My goodness, Sarah...it is astonishing watching you paint, what a gift you have! Thanks for sharing the walk too.
Thank you Debra! I had a lot of fun doing this painting 😊
This hike was breathtakingly beautiful! I love the accompanying painting as well. You are so talented and I can see how the beauty of Nature around you gives inspiration for your work
Hi Sarah. What a great walk. Love the crunchy sound of walking on snow. Jack certainly seemed to enjoy the hike too. Great drone shots and editing too. Your painting of the sheep is amazing. Take care. Nick
Thanks!! Willie did a great job with the drone, despite frozen fingers!! He makes it easy to edit with such great shots 😊
Great beauty in GOD earth, you capture it perfect,enjoy every minute.thank you
What a beautiful painting those icicles would make
Love learning about your process as. You paint. Take care!
