Inspired by Edinburgh!
Winter 2023
A winter term of Lou’s art school, featuring the beautiful and inspiring city of Edinburgh.
Week 1 - Fireworks
How to use masking fluid to create vibrant fireworks paintings in watercolour. In this project, we paint Edinburgh Castle at Hogmanay.
Week 2 - One Point Perspective
24th January - Sketchbook St Stephen's Church
Playing with some new media in a sketchbook, I do some experiments with watercolour pencils, japanese watercolours and a one-point perspective view of a street in Edinburgh’s New Town.
Using line and wash to paint a building from straight on, Lou demonstrated this technique on an Edinburgh New Town house.
Week 3 Onwards!
Covid interrupted my schedule at this point and the rest of the season was cut short. However, I did make a few more videos which I’ve listed here for completeness sake!@
8th February - Watercolour Valentine Hearts
A simple watercolour project for making Valentine cards for your loved ones.
24th February - 2 Point Perspective Writer's Museum
Painting the Writer’s Museum in Edinburgh in Two Point Persepective.
4th March - Dean Village Livestream
In March, I returned to livestreaming, and painted Dean Village in my sketchbook.
28th March - Victoria Street
In this video, I sketch Edinburgh’s colourful Victoria Street in Line and Wash. It’s got a few complexities because it’s a curved street on a steep hill.
