Recently I was asked to sketch a couple at the Scottish National Gallery to help promote their Valentines competition.

When I was younger I remember going on a few dates to galleries, often when I was meant to be somewhere else the local gallery would be a warm and dry place to go too, full of inspiration and wonder.

Just this week I was asked to sketch a few quick watercolour paintings within the red walls of the gallery by the Mound and it was an honour to have the place to myself and to be sketching in front of such stunning works of art.

Below are a couple of other sketches I made on the night. Thanks to Howard and Kenneth for being our perfect models!
