Here is my Anstruther pic from a couple of weekends ago, https://edinburghsketcher.com/?p=912 but this time with added watercolour.
I’m still having trouble finding time to add colour on location. I think I may try pencil crayons next, any ideas for more speedy mediums from fellow sketchers would be greatfully received!
A trip along to the Grassmarket today and this pen and pencil sketch from one of the benches.
The tours have started and I could hear a group being told all about the gruesome hangings that used to be the main attraction on the cobbles here.
Mocha, our purrrfect pussy cat. She has taken the new arrivals in her stride and been very patient, watching from up high and only hiding away when the cries get too much!
Back on the bike today, and half way to work I stopped to sketch the view from St Mark’s Park, which is a handy shortcut between Ferry road and Macdonald road.
The second image I added some pencil shading, which do you prefer?
A gorgeous day in Edinburgh, sitting in the sunshine this was my view through Parliament gardens towards Dynamic Earth. The strange objects in the foreground are bicycle posts, from a certain angle the form the shape of a bike. Not this angle, obviously 🙂
