Sketching the Scottish Highlands: My NC500 Road Trip Sketchbook Tour
Join me on a sketchbook tour of Scotland's North Coast 500! Over six days, I traveled the NC500 by campervan, sketching castles, Highland cows, beaches, lochs, and the dramatic coastal scenery that makes the Highlands so iconic. In this video, I’ll take you through every page of my travel sketchbook, sharing the locations, stories, and urban sketching adventures from one of Scotland's most famous road trips. From the moody skies over Loch Ness to the turquoise waters of Sango Sands, this was a journey of finding art in every mile. 🎨 Want to see what I packed for this trip?
