WhereArtI Quiz - 20th April 2026
How well do you know Edinburgh? Name the location and you could win a prize.
Each Monday morning I post a part of the city and you have to tell me where I have been sketching. After 24 hours I will pick one correct answer to receive a set of my Edinburgh location gift cards featuring my inky scribbles from the city.
Email me your answer to contact@edinburghsketcher.com (subject: WhereArtI) or use the button below and I will pick one correct answer tomorrow to receive some city gift cards.
The WhereArtI Quiz is printed each Monday morning in the Edinburgh Evening News.
Experimenting with oil pastels.
Last week I enjoyed a family break on the Isle of Arran. ‘Scotland in miniature’ the island which is off the west coast of Scotland has lovely beaches and stunning mountains to the north.
Catching up with loved ones, taking long walks and delicious meals we had a great time, and of course I mixed in some drawing. This one is of Lochranza Castle which sits by the beach on the north shore.
Letting go of the details I used thick oil pastels to capture the bright colour of the gorse but also the gloomy clouds above. I used masking tap before starting to create the sharp lines around the picture.
