As the snow may be here soon I thought I would share this sketch I made just over a year ago. I forgot to add it to my website and to the Etsy page so now I have rectified that, and signed prints can be bought via the link below.
The drawing was made with black india ink and a brush pen. I enjoyed being restricted to a single colour, you can see the layers of ink in the tree branches as they overlap each other and create darker and light shades.
The prints are on lovely watercolour paper, each one is signed and mounted and then enclosed in a protective sleeve. I have three sizes available at the shop below.
My India ink sketch shows Edinburgh’s beautiful docks in Leith, and this stretch of gable ended houses line The Shore, and area of restaurants, cafe’s and pubs. Perfect for a late afternoon summers walk.
Using the India ink with a brush allows for a wide range of strokes and with a little added water a diluted lighter hue can be achieved for shading.
Below is the scanned painting, prints of which can be bought in a mount in two sizes. 150x100mm for £22 and 290x200mm for £34. Drop me an email HERE is you would like a print.
