Inspired by recent crazy rainfall we have been having in Edinburgh recently this is a drawing from a photo taken yesterday in the torrential rain as I travelled through the city.
A quick sketch to warm me up before the days work. Often I like to do a speedy doodle in my sketchpad before beginning on commissions. This morning I remembered this photograph which captured the seemingly never ending rain that has been falling lately.
I love the way the droplets of water distort the view, spreading the light and changing the shapes we know so well.
Bonus WhereArtI points if you can name the street I was sitting in!
As the rain continued to fall today I sketched from my car.
Today I’m zipping around town meeting clients, potential stockists and printers. And all in my nippy wee Micra.
What a day, I can’t wait to get back outside in the sunshine. Just a quick post to show you this recent commission. I have included a couple of close ups below so you can see the detail that goes into my commissions.
As promised, here is todays sketch from behind the wheel of our car. We took a toy into town to exchange and Mrs Sketcher ran in, leaving me in the car with the sleeping babies.
