A great view of a busy Nicolson Street

NicolsonStreet_roadworksThe sun was shining and I was sketching in the city. This is my view from The City Restaurant, on Nicolson Street.

With great honest food (fish, chips and peas a speciality) and super views from their two story location right next to the Festival Theatre and opposite the Surgeons’ Hall Museums, the busy restaurant is a new favourite of mine.

 

I sketched the above whilst eating my lunch from the first floor window seat, watching the traffic weave in and out of the many road works below. I hear from the very friendly staff that they are due to close next week for a major refurbishment. I hope all goes well and look forward to welcoming them back soon.

Glorious sunshine on the Surgeons Hall, Edinburgh

SurgeonsHallThe edge of the stunning Surgeon’s Hall on Nicolson Street. Just opposite the Festival Theatre, which was where I sketched this image.

What a beautiful day in the capital. I hope you all got chance to soak up some vitamin D today. I noticed this narrow vision of the Surgeon’s Hall columns through two posters in the Festival Theatre cafe.

 

I couldn’t leave until I had caught the image in my pad, firstly with a fine liner pen and then a little watercolour on top. Thanks to the Th’eatery staff for not rushing me out and letting me stretch out my pot of tea 🙂
