Stunning colours falling from the trees recently, the hues of the leaves are particularly bright and strong this year. I can’t think of a better city center place to see this than in the Meadows park.
I was there sketching this scene yesterday, armed with an ink pen and some watercolours. Get out there and soak up the colours before they all turn to mush 🙂
There is something very theraputic about sitting in a peaceful garden and looking at trees for twenty minutes.
Concentrate on the many beautiful colours as the low light flickers through the leaves, notice how the dark branches weave their contrasting path through the sky. Let out a huge sigh and wonder in the fact you are only a few feet away from the hustle and bustle of the Royal Mile.
I tinted the sketch on my PC, its the nearest I could get to the autumnal foliage.
