About Beacons Art

Painting on top of hills can be a challenge! Obs - canvas catches the wind!
And - strangely, the sun

Painting on top of hills can be a challenge for Alastair McDougall, an artist known for his stunning Brecon Beacons paintings! The canvas often catches the wind, making it tricky to work. Additionally, the sun comes and goes, racing across the sky, causing the shadows in his contemporary landscape art to change constantly. This dynamic environment adds an exciting element to his landscape paintings and watercolour art.

Oils, Acrylics, Watercolours

Each style has its place, and each produces different results. As an Alastair McDougall artist, my goal is to create landscape paintings that I enjoy and that evoke some memory. I explore various techniques, including watercolour art, and my pieces vary significantly in size, with some being 48" across and others just 10". My Brecon Beacons paintings reflect my passion for contemporary landscape art, showcasing the beauty of the scenery.

Alastair McDougall ~ Artist

As an Alastair McDougall artist, I have been painting and selling Brecon Beacons paintings and capturing the beauty of the surrounding area for years. This fabulous place, shaped by immense tectonic forces that bent the rocks millions of years ago, has been further sculpted by kilometres-thick glaciers and their meltwaters. Today, it continues to inspire my contemporary landscape art, with landscape paintings and watercolour art reflecting the stunning vistas that have been appreciated by humans for thousands of years.
