Alto de Perdón
The Story Behind the Watercolour Painting
When I walked the Camino with my mother in 2014 this was the view of the metal sculptures covered in fog. Later when I walked the Camino in 2018 I got a much better view of the distant hills.
The Alto de Perdón (Hill of Forgiveness) is an iconic Camino location, and a tough climb just past Pamplona. A very moving sculpture showing the pilgrims through the ages after a long hike.
My Sketching and Painting Process
Initial Pencil sketch.
Adding waterproof Ink over the pencil so this will not bleed during the watercolour stage.
Watercolour added.
I was producing some greeting cards from this painting so I had to make the sky a little darker.
Final framed artwork gifted to my mother for walking the Camino with me.
Watercolour Paint, Ink & Paper
I use Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour on Arches France Watercolour Paper, 300g Hot Pressed or Fabriano Artistico Watercolour Paper 300g Hot Pressed..
Enjoy, Chris Osborne

Every time you talk/paint about the Camino de Santiago, it makes me want to watch the movie The Way again. Beautiful painting Chris. A moment captured in time.

Yes that movie is where it all started for me and my mum in 2013
