Melanie Grandidge
Illustrator and Artist based in Edinburgh, Scotland
I am an artist illustrator from Lancashire, England, now living in Edinburgh after graduating with a BA (Hons) in Illustration at Edinburgh College of Art
My love for story-telling is conveyed through my illustrations using the mediums of watercolour, ink and lino printing. I love packing up my watercolour palette, paint brushes and sketchbook to go exploring to find beautiful scenes to paint from observation.
