Challenging is the right word Margaret, but it’s come out rather well! You certainly have the sense of movement there.

I bet it was really difficult to run and draw at the same time Margaret....lol. I agree with Tessa, you’ve caught the movement.

You've portrayed the scene really well Margaret, tricky and a challenge for sure!

Thank you Tessa :) Would like to try again next year - hopefully it won't rain then! Thank you Fiona - running and drawing - that WOULD be a challenge! Afraid I sat on a stone for this one and stood up for the others (not posted)! Thank you Alan - it was a challenge but it was fun! I think one of the things for the future I need to do is to get to a preferred spot before the runners so have plenty of time - did a fair bit of fast walking myself!

Sketching running figures is hard enough Margaret without the added hindrance of rain so well done you. You've caught the feeling of movement and colour in this so well.

Brave lady to tackle this and very well done

On Sunday I thought I would try to sketch the Edinburgh Marathon - pity it rained! I can safely say this was challenging! So wet at times I couldn't use the pen.

About the Artist
Margaret Nisbet

I'm an amateur artist. I have drawn all my life - used to be mainly portraits but now a wider range. Did a lot of portrait/figure drawing at classes for a while in the 1990s then had a break from doing much at all until a couple of years ago, since when I've gone back to classes and workshops run…
