Fraoch Nic an Deòir a' dèanamh dealbh dubh is geal dhen ùghdar Ruairidh MacIlleathain. Heather Dewar draws a charcoal portrait of author and educator Roddy Maclean.

Tha Fraoch Nic an Deòir a Ìle a'tilleadh thugainn le sreath ùr de "Dhealbhan Fraoich". An dà chuid a'dèanamh dealbh agus a'cur cheist, tha i a'cruthachadh samhailean ann an dubh 's geal de Ghàidheil air a bheil iomadh neach eòlach - agus a'tàladh bhuapa eachdraidh am beatha aig a'cheart àm!

'Sa phrògram seo tha Fraoch a'dèanamh dealbh de Ruairidh MacIlleathain, fear-naidheachd, ùghdar agus foghlamaiche. Ged a tha Ruairidh a'fuireach ann an Inbhirnis, sann an Afraca a rugadh e agus dh'fhàs e suas ann an Tasmania, mus do rinn e a dhachaigh ann an Alba, as an tàinig a chuideachd. Bha nàdar agus an àrainneachd riamh dlùth dha chridhe, agus neartaich Alba a dhìlseachd do chànan is cultur nan Gàidheal. Tha luchd-ionnsachaidh na Gàidhlig air feadh an t-saoghail an-diugh eòlach air mar sgrìobhaiche na Litreach do Luchd-ionnsachaidh.

Islay-born artist Heather Dewar has had a love of portrait drawing from a young age and relishes the challenge of capturing someone's likeness.

In this programme, Heather draws journalist, author and educator Roddy Maclean. Although Roddy now lives in Inverness, he was born in Africa and spent much of his life in Tasmania before settling in Scotland, his father's homeland.

His upbringing imbued him with a passion for nature and the outdoors. His father's Scottish roots gave him a love for the Gaelic language and culture. Today, he is known to Gaelic learners across the world as the presenter of 'Litir do Luchd-ionnsachaidh'.
