Harrison Park in the Snow

As the snow may be here soon I thought I would share this sketch I made just over a year ago. I forgot to add it to my website and to the Etsy page so now I have rectified that, and signed prints can be bought via the link below.

The drawing was made with black india ink and a brush pen. I enjoyed being restricted to a single colour, you can see the layers of ink in the tree branches as they overlap each other and create darker and light shades.

The prints are on lovely watercolour paper, each one is signed and mounted and then enclosed in a protective sleeve. I have three sizes available at the shop below.

Where the bicycles meet

Fine lines and sketchy scribbles on Jeffrey Street.

My first sketch of Edinburgh in the new year is this view of bicycles on Jeffrey Street. I was there visiting my latest collaborating stockist, Hot Toddy who have a cafe and give great whisky tasting tours to locals and visitors to the city.

I have noticed this view before, I love the lines cross crossing through the picture and the depth that the bikes plus the Balmoral in the background give to my sketch.

I sketched with my favoured Uni Pin Fineliners and then added a quick watercolour wash to give a little colour to the famous hotel in the distance.

Happy New Year everyone and I hope you continue to follow my sketching journey through 2024. Mark 🙂
