Wellcome Collection

Using coloured pencils at the Wellcome Collection on Saturday as dry materials were the order of the day. Still not sure what I think of these. 

Might try iPad drawing next time the rules are the same. 

London Art Fair

Spitalfields Market

London Riviera

Sketches form the third, and last, summer evening sketching with London Urban Sketchers, this time on the 'London Riviera' near City Hall.

Cafe life

Two cafe sketches from a visit to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Some good work in the very crowded display but I found the people there more interesting!

At the national

Sketches from the second Summer evening meet up with London Urban Sketchers, at the National Theatre and the foyer of the Royal Festival Hall.

Penge Day

Brighton Workshop Six - colour as background

The last session of the Brighton Workshop was with Swasky, who showed the group how to use colour to indicate the mid-ground and background.

Brighton Workshop Five - three layers in one sketch

In the second session with Isabel Carmona, we looked at dividing up the sketch into three sections - foreground, middle ground and background.  In these two sketches I tried to emphasis different aspects of the view.

Brighton Workshop Three - outline shapes

The third session of the Brighton Workshop was with Swasky and concentrated on outline shapes of people using a brush pen.

Brighton Workshop Two - Watercolour strokes

Looking back at the second workshop on the first day of the recent Urban Sketchers event in Brighton run by Isabel Carmona and focussing on using watercolour brush strokes to draw figures.

  

In the hood

 Had a chance to draw a street artist at work in Penge yesterday.

Difficult as the painting is very physical and they are up and down their ladder.

Managed a quick sketch of the artist @illuzina when she took a rest to check her 'phone.

See the finished piece in Maple Road, Penge, London.

So Last Century June Vintage Fair

Went along to the 'So Last Century' vintage fair today to do some sketching.  Lots of rails of clothes and hats.
Music was vintage too, with 78 records on wind up gramophones! Also some fold-up garden chairs and garden pots which looked lovely planted with cottage garden flowers.
