“The Last Charge” Culloden 1746
This vignette shows the last battle fought on British soil, the battle of Culloden, a battle that was lost before it had begun...
We here se the last charge of these Jacobites, starved and tired these clansman will take part of the last chapter of the Jacobite rebellion.
Although I have been sculpting and painting for many years, I have to confess that I had not done any tartans before... I was just too scared in painting all those lines... ! But this battle and this scene was stuck in my mind and I just had to create this vignette!
I really wanted to show the different expression of these clansmen, from anger, to shock and fear... I also made sure that the tartans were muted and not bright and modern looking.
Another scene i really enjoyed doing and I learnt how ta paint a tartan. (well, at least I think so!)
This scene was created for the World Expo Show in 2017.
