ST ANDREWS In Autumn | Painting A Conker in Watercolour | Ep37

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.

This week we are back on dry land with Jack in tow, visiting the historic town of St Andrews - famous for its medieval architecture, Scotland's oldest university, royal first dates, slow motion running, amazing ice cream and of course, being the 'Home of Golf'.

We discover all this and even more of the town, on a beautiful sunny autumnal day. During the walk, I spotted a beautiful shiny conker (a horse chestnut seed) and I couldn't sit to get home to start painting it. Watch to the end of the video to see how I got on with this shiny new challenge.

Join me again next week as we explore somewhere else in Scotland and look for painting inspiration...
