Museum of Childhood

As this weekend sees the 3rd Birthday of my blog, it seemed fitting that I spent today helping out at the launch of The Big Draw at the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.  Lots of children (and grown-ups) took part in a whole host of drawing inspired activities.  The Big Draw continues for the whole of October and you can find out more information here http://www.thebigdraw.org/

Paint the town!

I'm taking part in a Big Draw event next weekend at Croydon Museum which got me thinking about what colours you associate with particular places, hence my Croydon paintbox.

It is very exciting to be one of the sketchers featured in Gabi Campanarios's new book, 'The Urban Sketching Handbook : Architecture and Cityscapes : Tips and Techniques for Drawing on Location'. 

It is out on October 15th and you can get a sneak peak here http://www.amazon.com/Urban-Sketching-Handbook-Architecture-Cityscapes/dp/1592539610/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1411763436&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Urban+Sketching+Handbook%3A+Architecture+and+Cityscapes%3A+Tips+and+Techniques+for+Drawing+on+Location
