Four sketchbooks and four seasons later, I have managed to complete a year of drawing and painting at Lauriston Agroecology Farm allotments.
Although I’ll be taking a break over December to January, I can’t wait to return next year for more horticultural adventures. 💚x

Sketching the last of the sunflowers at Lauriston Agroecology Farm this afternoon with a fineliner pen. Chilly but dry and sunny.

Painted a “colander on a cooling rack” still life at College today. Used a pipette and ink; then a Brillo pad with ink and bleach.

Sylvia Plath was born on this day in 1932. I write or print this quote on the inside cover of all my sketchbooks. So I don’t forget.

A moment of meditative tranquillity this afternoon whilst I sketched the compost bins at Lauriston Agroecology Farm allotments with a ballpoint pen. Back to the crazy creativity of Edinburgh College tomorrow!
