A further 15 minute sketch at the National Galleries of Scotland, outdoors this time, and looking towards the Scott Monument and the Balmoral Hotel.
Sketching at National Galleries of Scotland
Really enjoying the "Work in Pastel and Paint Inspired by Joan Eardley" class at the National Galleries of Scotland. Here are three, 10 minute sketches from a live model.
18th birthday jewellery
I met up with former piano pupil Eli to look at the Joan Eardley exhibition at Modern Two in Edinburgh. As it was Eli's 18th birthday I designed and made her a copper pendant. Looks great!
Cameo Painting Safely Delivered!
A painting I had undertaken of the Cameo cinema, featuring Trainspotting on the billboard, was finally delivered to it's intended VIP recipient on the day of the T2 Trainspotting premiere in Edinburgh. I hope they love it!
Music Book
Have spent the last two weeks creating more illustrations for my planned music book. Only a handful to go, then I'll have to find an interested publisher!
Piano Lessons - Christmas 2016
Playing Christmas tunes with pupils is great fun, especially when they bring accessories! Emma looks great in her Santa hat!🎶🎹
Einaudi Concert - Edinburgh, 20 March 2016
Four of my pupils and myself were allowed access to watch the rehearsal for Ludovico Einaudi’s concert at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, following which we met both him and his tour manager and were given tickets and back stage passes for the concert!! Another pupil joined us for the concert, which was truly amazing! As you can imagine, much squealing and group hugging took place throughout the day from all the excitement! Once backstage we also met more band members and had another photo session with Ludovico.
