Setting the scene
Posted by Stewart Bremner on
Last week I shared an uninvited look into a little bit of my process. I thought I'd share another now, this time looking into how I play with colour on my landscapes.

More pop up stalls
Posted by Stewart Bremner on
After the success of the last two pop up stalls at the Leith Walk Police Box, Stewart is doing three more at the end of August. They are all day on Thursday 25th, the morning of Friday 26th and afternoon of Saturday 27th. A Pair of Blues Eyes will also be there, with a lovely selection of mid-century modern prints and home wares. Dinny miss it!

Stewart will be doing two Indy Prints pop up stalls on Saturday 13th and Saturday 27th of August*. They're both at the Leith Walk Police Box, which Stewart painted back in April.
