Our Lighthouse
We love our Leuchie House Lighthouse! Please check out our Instagram: Littleartistslighthouse for more details.
Winter 2025/6
Every child aged 5 knows how to draw. They can draw anything and everything. Over the years, this confidence begins to disappear until as an adult, most will claim to be unable to draw at all. We want to keep this drawing ability alive for as long as possible and entering the Leuchie House Art Trail competition seemed a great opportunity to give purpose to our artwork.
Inspiration
Spring 2026
First, each artist decided if their lighthouse was to have a daylight, sunset or evening background. Then they thought about whether the design should be traditional or imaginary. The best part was dreaming up the added extras, such as mermaids, sharks and shooting stars.
Design
PaintingSummer 2026
We used normal wall paint/emulsion for the sky, sea and mini lighthouses with the drawing details added with acrylic paint pens. It took about four weeks to complete the painting as many coats of paint were needed. It was then covered in a fabulous, shiny, anti-graffiti varnish.
LegacyAutumn
Just as little dancers receive applause at the end of their performances and little footballers claim winning trophies, we want our little artists to have a great memory of their artwork appearing in public and basking in this accolade with glory!
