Discover the art of Donald Groat

An Edinburgh based contemporary watercolour artist inspired by Scottish landscapes, sea and nature. 

Capturing the atmosphere of Scotland in watercolour

Thank you for visiting my website.

I'm Donald Groat, a contemporary watercolour artist based in Balerno, on the outskirts of Edinburgh. My paintings are inspired by the quiet beauty of Scotland's landscapes, the ever-changing character of its coastlines, and the wildlife that brings these places to life.  

I invite you to explore my collection of original paintings and high-quality prints. Whether you're looking for a piece for your home or simply enjoy discovering new artwork, I hope you find something here that speaks to you.

My latest work

These are the newest paintings to leave my Edinburgh studio.

From Scottish landscapes and dramatic coastlines to wildlife and marine life, each piece captures a moment or atmosphere that has inspired me.

My work is always evolving, so this collection is regularly updated as new paintings are completed.

"I’m absolutely delighted with my giclée art print. The quality is outstanding, making it a wonderfully affordable way to enjoy beautiful art. The colours of the koi carp are vibrant and truly stunning. Donald’s attention to detail is exceptional, and I highly recommend his work. This was meant to be a gift, but I love it so much I may end up keeping it for myself."

"Donald's art carries that "spark of life" that gives his pictures a soul. It's in the eyes. I definitely hope to collect some more."
