Anna Gammans' "Edinburgh Castle (Sketch)" is an expressive and atmospheric interpretation of one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks. Measuring 16" x 12", this piece captures the essence of the historic fortress through a dynamic interplay of loose, gestural lines and washes of tonal contrast. The monochromatic palette enhances the depth and mood of the scene, allowing the viewer to appreciate the raw energy and movement within the composition. Through a combination of controlled mark-making and spontaneous splashes of ink, Gammans conveys the character and timeless grandeur of Edinburgh Castle while maintaining a contemporary and abstracted approach.
