Light and Dark on the way home

A long walk as the sun goes down and workers head home.

From around this time last night when I was walking along Ferry road from Leith to Inverleith.

The rain was falling and the car lights were creating a lovely light show. I took a photo and drew this today from my warm studio. I love a good reflection and trying to capture one in watercolours is good fun. Tricky though and often I will add too much sketching or colour and darken the light too much.

Autumnal Walks

Wonderful colours under my feet.

Finally got chance to add some colour to this ink sketch of my boots on a walk around Edinburgh.

I had posted the photo a couple of weeks ago as I just loved the autumn colours and perspective from my morning wintry walk. I also posted the sketch below as I added the ink, taking my time to add plenty of detail with cross hatching.

The more I looked at the photo the more colours I saw, like the blue in the boots reflected form the stormy skies above.

Now with colour I thought this would look great as a print, and as I sketched it in my A5 pad then it will easily blow up to fill an A3 sheet. I am going to print a couple and see how they look, if you would like a signed version then follow the link below to my etsy page.
