Blairmore Pier, Scotland (2021) Photograph by Lynne Douglas

Dreamy peach tones in this image made at a remote village in Scotland. The dawn colours in the sky make this a very calming image that takes you to a romantic place.

Blairmore Pier is a small romantic Victorian pier near Dunoon in Scotland. This timber pier was built in 1855 and was used by the Clyde steamers bringing goods and holiday makers on some of the earliest steam boats. Now, it is quiet and the only sound is the sandpipers that wander around the edges of the water feeding in the crystal clear water. Listen carefully and you will hear the echoes of ladies in big flowery hats and the rustle of crinolines as they trotted down the pier for a few days in the quiet villages of Argyll.

Printed on Canson Arches Aquarelle, one of the most beautiful papers I have ever worked with! Canson Arches Aquarelle has history of this paper goes back centuries. It has a soft structure like a watercolour paper that enhances the image creating a softness and warmth like a watercolour painting.

About My Materials
People often say that my images look like paintings because of the richness of the colours, the depth of the black and the texture of the materials I use. Arches-Canson are one of the oldest paper manufacturers in the world, they have been making paper for over 450 years in France. Founded in 1557 and printers to Louis XVI, their paper was used by Voltaire and Napoleon and the Montgolfier brothers used Canson paper to make the first hot air balloon.
