A family walk down the front at Granton and the small beach which lies between the break water and Granton Harbour.
I live just up the hill from here and have often wanted to sketch the colourful houses which line the curved road, looking out to the Forth.
This drawing I drew during the lock down due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and so took a photo and worked on it form home.
You can see a timelapse of me sketching the piece below, and if you would like to buy a print or the original then get in touch. Prints start at £18 and the original which measures approx 240mm x 180mm is £45.
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.
