Meeting the Scottish Correspondents

The mammoth scanning job of 4 sketchbooks from my recent trip continues slowing ... But finally I am able to post about meeting up with the two Scottish Urban sketchers in September – Will Freeborn from Glasgow and Stuart Kerr in Edinburgh. It was just so great to meet fellow urban sketchers and chat about sketching and tools etc. and especially to be able to flick through their sketchbooks. Not only are the original artworks so much better to se in real life but the there is something really special about flicking through the pages and seeing them in the context of a sketchbook as a whole. In particular Stuart fills his sketchbook randomly so it is lots of fun and slightly confusing to flick from page to page when we have to keep rotating the book as well.

Here are my sketches from Meeting with Wil. The rest of my Glasgow sketches are here.
