Framed views of the castle
Perfect views of Edinburgh Castle from Starbucks new home on Princes Street.
I may of spent a little longer than I should have on this one but I found the perfect place to sketch and enjoy a flat white so did not want to leave. I did sit in the seats in the window at first but it was too hot! In Scotland, in September!
It’s the first time I have been here since the coffee shop moved a few doors down and what was once Starbucks is now the Willow Tea Rooms. Along with Waterstones café in between there is plenty of places to enjoy this view with a cuppa.
I love how the castle is perfectly framed in this central pane. Below is the ink sketch and a couple of progress photos from the café. If visiting the capital be sure to head upstairs in the Princes Street Starbucks to enjoy these views.
Love how you show the build up and construction of this picture. Edinburgh is a wonderful city to observe these scenes.
