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.

Happy Sketcher Twin, watching diggers in Edinburgh

JamesDiggersIt’s holiday time for the wee ones and as Mrs Sketcher and I juggle our four year old twins this afternoon I took them to the shops.

The sun was surprisingly out this afternoon and as the kids and I didn’t want to head indoors we hovered near the entrance to the St James Centre on Little King Street. Sketcher Twin 1 was happy watching the workers digging up the road outside John Lewis, even following the wee tipper up the road with its full load of rubble.

 

He could of watched all afternoon but Sketcher Twin 2 was restless and ready to head indoors to Tiger Tiger for paper and crayons 🙂
