With only a couple of days left to complete the art for the “Katie Trail” for the National Gallery of Scotland, I thought I’d quickly upload images of work in progress… a mixture of sketches and finished pieces. It’s almost like a very swiftly-produced mini-book! Katie will find various tasks in the book, introduced by a pair of gallery guards in their fetching tartan trousers. The first task is to complete several paintngs (redrawn by me) which have bits missing. This took the longest, but it’s almost ready now.
The front of the guide will feature Katie outside the National Gallery of Scotland with Edinburgh castle in the distance. 3,000 will be printed to start with, and as the gallery is Edinburgh’s second-to-top attraction (after the castle), I hope this FREE guide will make a good souvenir for children. Of course you have to go to the gallery to get one…
The museum will provide a pencil case (free hire) for children to use. A very exciting initiative and we all hope it will get more children into the gallery and looking at the fabulous paintings inside!
