A cloudy view to Broughton St Marys Parish Church

There is beauty evening the dull cloudy days here in Edinburgh.

I have been practicing my clouds recently, and this dull morning last week was perfect for combining some grey clouds with a little perspective sketching, plus a lovely church in the centre.

As often happens I was driving along the road when I spotted the stunning composition of tis view and had to pull over and sketch.

I then spent the next five minutes finding the place to park the car, to get the best angle to paint from – as it was baltic outside!!

This sketch was drawn with a 0.3 fineliner and then a watercolour wash over the top. This sketch is available (from £18) as a print on my Etsy shop HERE.
