Scotland's dramatic landscape and coastline have always held a strong
appeal for Sheila McLeod Robertson. Though she has painted other parts
of Britain, she feels Scotland has an additional pull. Based in
Edinburgh, Robertson spends much time travelling the country, often by
sea, working either directly from the landscape or from water-colour
sketches.
Often likened to the Scottish Colourists, Robertson is fired by a desire
to communicate the full intensity of colour found in the natural world,
a task to which she believes the palette of oil colours is more suited
than the camera, which, she says; "Doesn't capture the
range of colour that the human eye can see. A photograph never gets the
colour right". Robertson has exhibited in the United States, Sweden and
Japan.
The ever changing light in Scotland can pose a challenge to artists. Sheila McLeod
Robertson finds that she sometimes paints in watercolour as many as twenty or so
small sketches which will help her finish her oil painting back at her studio. "The tide
coming in or out can transform a beach so that the scene you start with is quickly
replaced. Sometimes that can create a more interesting view and my canvas will
reflect that change. At other times I prefer the original aspect and I then refer to my
watercolour sketches."
Sheila McLeod Robertson is a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Not
only does she exhibit at their London exhibition each summer, she also gives master
classes. Sheila, now in her seventies, is not content with attending in a teaching
capacity, she often sits in on other artist's classes. She says, "You are never too old to
learn something new. Life would be very boring if we stopped learning"
