Location Sketching

I'm really enjoying drawing buildings at the moment and so after a walk at, National Trust for Scotland property, Threave on Sunday afternoon I couldn't resist the urge to draw this one.

It was freezing and was getting dark so it was speedy quick sketching, but I managed to record enough detail to work up my final piece.

Sandyhills to Rockcliffe

I recently enjoyed a lovely walk with friends on a local coastal path we've walked several times before. The views across the Solway to the Lake District are wonderful from this clifftop path. With binoculars at the ready we spotted lots of oystercatchers, gulls, cormorants and a seal!

A lovely walk with lovely people on a calm October weekend - you can't ask for more than that.

From the Sketchbook #2

This is Little Ross, a small island near Kirkcudbright. The gorgeous view you get on a short walk from the town heading out towards Dundrennan.

Great view and a seat what more could you want!
