Fireworks Finale, The Edinburgh Tattoo

 I haven’t been to the Tattoo since I was a child so I did this painting partly from memory and partly from going to the location beforehand to see how everything was set up. The figures in the foreground came from observations I made at the end of Festival Fireworks in Princes Street Gardens. I thought they would be prefect for this painting. They looked similarly chilly!
 
The crowd are well wrapped up. One lady has a travelling rug around her and one man is wearing a woolly hat. Even in August, Edinburgh evenings can be quite cold. None the less a bit of rain doesn’t dampen the spirits of the tattoo performers. Since 1950 when the first Tattoo took place in Edinburgh, not a single performance has ever been cancelled.
 
This was a fun painting to paint. I took great pleasure in painting all of the details on the piper’s outfits. Making the fireworks look believable was tricky but I enjoyed painting the dark blue sky and shadows against the pinky-yellow tones of the castle and esplanade.
