Swimming, Seashells & Crumble in the Sand! NC500 Road Trip

Swimming, Seashells & Crumble in the Sand! NC500 Road Trip In this episode of our NC500 road trip, we settle into the stunning serenity of Talmine Bay on Scotland’s remote north coast — and it turns out to be one of the most memorable stops yet. We brave a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear sea, gather beautiful seashells for painting, and have our first true Highland encounter with midges — tiny, mighty, and definitely not our favorite travel companions. Meanwhile, Crumble the dog is living his absolute best life. His beach mission? Digging sand directly onto my painting, of course. Chaos, joy, and a bit of watercolor resilience all rolled into one sandy, unforgettable afternoon. Join us for sea views, sketchbook moments, a few itchy bites, and lots of laughter on this wild and wonderful stretch of the NC500. #NC500 #TalmineBay #ScotlandRoadTrip #WildSwimming #SeashellPainting #PleinAirPainting #TravelWithDogs #BeachLife #ScottishHighlands #Midges #DogAdventures #WatercolorArt #Watercolour #ArtAndTravel #NatureInspires #CreativeJourney

What a lovely video! A paradise of simple things, enjoying the nature next to your lovely family. Admiring the peaceful landscape... And the shells, I love your painting. You always produce an inspiring feeling! Thank you so much for sharing.

It was so great seeing all the beautiful scenery and Crumble. Also, I so enjoy just watching you paint the lovely shells. It was very meditative.

Abt does a great job with these Vlogs.

I could watch you paint all day long! You are just fantastic!

Helen Garrett

I am thoroughly enjoying the snapshots of your road trip. Ant, Crumble and yourself are a joy. I agree with Alison that I could watch you paint all day long and I'm gutted that as a teacher I am unable to go to Portugal next Autumn! Do you have any other retreats/paint days coming up?

Debbie H

Lovely scenes. Love to go with you on your adventures and your painting.

Thanks Helen! Well I am currently in talks with a new venue in Devon and I'm going to make a concerted effort next year to find some new venues in the UK to do a bit of a workshop tour!
