A cool artist, with a very different style of urban sketching.

Urban sketches by Peter Gillespie

I am inspired by the built environment and try to reflect loosely its character and vibrancy, using lots of ink, a little watercolour, but never any pencils nor rulers.   I sometimes even get excited by telephone wires and lampposts.

Please contact me to order a commission. I can sketch from photos of places all over the world.
