The Pinnacles, Sgurr-na-Gillian, Isle of Skye is a 1850 watercolor by Charles Edward Johnson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a steep, rocky mountain valley with sharp peaks rising in the distance. The colors are mostly muted greys and browns, with patches of green on the slopes. A small stream cuts through the bottom of the scene, surrounded by scattered stones. The artist used soft, blended strokes to create a sense of mist or light fog in the air. The brushwork is loose, focusing on the natural shapes of the rocks and hills. Look up Johnson, Charles Edward to see more of his mountain landscapes.
