Blipping old school

Today while walking along the Royal Mile I noticed this artist getting stuck into a scene looking up the Royal Mile towards St Giles Cathedral. It was nice to see a painter working on site rather than from photographs. I have stumbled across him before and had a quick chat about light and the chances of an imminent downpour. Must ask his name one of these days. It also occurred to that this was a sort of Blip folks did before cameras made it so easy for us.
