Andrew Sharp is an architectural drawing artist based in Scotland.

His work is created entirely from life, on location. Each drawing begins outdoors, through direct and sustained observation of architectural form, structure, and atmosphere. The work is not based on photographs, but develops through prolonged engagement with real space, light, and changing conditions.

Time is a central element of the practice. Each piece unfolds slowly over many weeks and often requires seventy hours or more to complete. Rather than aiming for photographic accuracy, the drawings are constructed through accumulated attention, repetition, and refinement, allowing form and proportion to emerge gradually.

Working in public space is an essential part of the process. Drawing on the street places the work within the rhythm of the city — shaped by weather, sound, movement, and the presence of people passing by. These conditions influence the drawing even when they are not directly depicted.

Andrew received formal training in fine art through art school, art college, and university-level education. This academic foundation supports a practice rooted in observational drawing and traditional hand-drawn technique, with an emphasis on presence, duration, and the physical act of seeing.
