Let's go outside! The Scrawlrbox #096 was inspired by our featured artist and renowned architect - Willie Watt. The theme of this box was about discovering our hometown and exploring our surroundings. This box contains the Architecture Set of Faber-Castell Goldfaber Sketch Dual Markers- A Scrawlr exclusive! Edding 1880 Drawliner Marker and ScrawlrBox A5 Marker Pad.
Willie Watt is an architect and a director at the award winning Nicoll Russell Studios. He loves to draw and has drawn since he was at primary school and throughout his career, both in terms of his architectural work, as an architectural illustrator and for simple pleasure in his free time. He believes that the act of drawing catalyses thought and makes the creative process for all involved fun.
Drawing, sketching and painting though is much more to him than simply work it is something he has always done and often it compliments a bike ride along the coast, around a town, into the country or into the wilds of the highlands. His work is underpinned by drawing, but he uses a variety of techniques, historically using watercolour, pens, watercolour pencils/crayons and more and more often mixed media. Willie always draws or paints what he enjoys, what catches his eye with a particular emphasis on architecture, vernacular buildings and boats. Focussing on line, form, texture, materiality and colour, seeking to capture character and context.
