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.

Borough

Did this drawing near Borough Market. The row of houses was pretty run down, with peeling paint, and the people who were coming and going looked like they might actually have grown up in the area and been part of the local community. One old lady asked if it was easy to draw the houses and I said no it wasn't really. She was pretty friendly anyway. The first floor window is held open by one of those grip strengtheners with a spring and two handles you have to squeeze together.
