Morning sketch fans, more rain showers forecast for today across the city so I thought I’d draw a photo I took from the bus a couple of weeks ago when a monsoon like downpour hit Edinburgh. Here we are at the top of Leith Street turning onto Princes Street, before heading left on to the North Bridge.
Have fun dodging the showers today š
Anyone know who the statue of the horse and rider is for…?
This is the HBoS (formally Bank of Scotland) headquarters which stands high above Princes Street Gardens on The Mound. I took my Derwent pastel pencils/crayons with me today to add some colour.
It was a little messy but I like the effect you can achieve by adding a lighter colour on top of a darker one. BlendingĀ the two. I will stick with the pastels for a while as I could of spent all day experimenting, if only I had the time.
