View from Limehouse


View from opposite my flat. I struggled with this one as it was freezing and so windy. I gave up the first time as I couldn't hold the paper still in the wind. Turned out a massive storm was sweeping the UK, so didn't feel quite as bad once I realised that. It's great to stand somewhere like this for a long time though, just seeing the changes in weather and mood. One thing that's really special about drawing on location.

Library


Drew this in the excellent Westminster Reference Library near Leicester Square. So many good art books there!!

Jacket



A quick drawing I did of my jacket and hat (in the hood) hanging up in my room.

Gower's Walk


A quick sketch of a street near me. The warehouse on the right is similar to the ones along the river. So many fascinating streets in London, with the different styles of building.

Liverpool Street

A couple of sketches I did while I was waiting for my friend outside Liverpool Street Station. So busy!

New house drawing



I did this pic of a house belonging to some friends of my Aunt's a few weeks back. The day was freezing cold, with a bitter wind. By the end my hands were pretty much numb and I was so glad to get back to the station and warm up in the waiting room. Was still a great experience going out of London to draw on location.
