Plums and custard

As you might have noticed Scotland is currently enjoying a surprise heatwave. Everyone is making the most of it because this probably is summer for us. Big Dreamer bitterly remarked that it looked like someone had declared a national holiday in Edinburgh and didn’t everyone had a job to go to?! The central quad at college was full of students enjoying the sun. Katrina and the Waves played from the open windows of one of the painting studios. We’re a cool lot at Edinburgh College of Art. I took the chance to do a bit of drawing in my sketchbook so here are some of them for you. Don’t ask what happened to the head of the girl second from right. On the way home the sky was turning that an amazing golden pink that always reminds me of plums and custard.
