Ian Aylies' top painting spots
Ian Aylies, 27, graphic designer, Morningside, lists his top five places to paint in Edinburgh:
1 The Crags, Arthur's Seat There are so many views, but it is an impressive landscape from just about any angle.
2 Waverley Station It's a startling building in itself, and there's always plenty of interesting scenes to draw.
3 Princes Street Gardens Very peaceful, and surrounded by great scenery, as well as being a great place to people-watch.
4 The Forth Bridge A really beautiful structure to draw, and there are superb views from South Queensferry.
5 Edinburgh Zoo Painting the animals can be a real challenge, but it's always fun.
