Waterloo Place looking down Princes Street, #Edinburgh. Inky scribble to warm up this morning. So many great vistas, this one with the three spires of St Mary’s Cathedral in the distance, the Scott Monument closer and the clock tower of Balmoral on the left. What’s your favourite view in the city?

The recent sunny spell lasted just long enough for my workshop with the NTS at Falkland Palace. I led a group of eager sketchers around the beautiful well looked after gardens. Wonderful shades from bright yellows to deep dark burgundies... www.edinburghsketcher.com/p/falkand-pa...

Sketching in the city, working out a route for a new workshop tour. Starting at the Scott Monument. 🥰 #inksketch #privateworkshop #sketchingtour #sketchbook

Spending sunny afternoons in the shed with my son 🥰 I’m feeling very fortunate I can currently bend my work around spending time with the kids while they are off school. Not always easy but always worth it.

A sketch from our visit the V&A in Dundee. It’s a must if in the area, if only to walk around and under the beautiful building. Views out to the road bridge across the Firth of Tay. @vadundee.bsky.social

Swifts, Swallows or House Martins? I was always unable to tell which was which, until now - the best way to remember their differences? To draw each bird and note their uniqueness. When you take the time to draw something you really notice the details and take so much more in. Give it a go 👍😊
