A different kind of Urban Sketching



Drawings from today's 'Femme Fierce' street art event in Croydon.  I did the B&W drawings on the spot and then added some colour with Photoshop.  


It is difficult to try and sketch what the artists are painting but you can get a flavour from the Femme Fierce Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/FemmeFierceEvents



Two of the artists at work



The event was held in conjunction with the Rise Gallery , who will be holding an exhibition of street art later this month. For more details http://rise-gallery.co.uk/exhibitions/

Love Lane, South Norwood



Yes, the road is actually called that!  Thought it would make a good post for Valentine's Day, although it was very chilly when I went along to sketch so I ended up taking photographs and working from them.

This time, last year...


Reminiscing about this time last year when I was lucky enough to go on a day trip to Paris.  Almost made the Eiffel Tower disappear with a glitch in the panoramic shot below.
