A rather rain splattered sketch of Inch House through the trees today! Fortunately the really heavy rain waited until sketch was finished! 🤣
A6 sketchbook and fountainpen.

I thought that Inch House looks a bit like a fairytale castle when glimpsed through the trees today.

There is a gorgeous new woolshop in Edinburgh! Fibre Yard in Causewayside. Just popped in to have a look - think I need to start knitting again!

Tuesday, I didn't do any drawing, apart from straight lines for sewing a pencil wrap from the back of an old denim shirt! Custom made so the coloured pencils I use fit snuggly and put flaps at both ends. It is also lightweight.
