While I was back in London, on May the 19th, I still managed to take part in the 14th international sketchcrawl, going down to the Thames with Simon, a sketchbook and some paints; we began in a small cafe by London bridge station, before heading off to Borough Market, sketching Southwark Cathedral on the steps leading down from the high street. We ate cheese in Borough Market and walked down the narrow alleys along the south bank of the Thames, pauisng to sketch here and there (the Golden Hinde, below). And then we met my wife and crossed over the river to search the empty city streets for signs of the FA Cup Final. Unfortunately the cup final turned out to be a boring waste of time, but the sketchcrawl definitely wasn't. You can see the results properly here on the sketchcrawl site. Of course, I did more drawings while in London, but you'll have to wait for those I'm afraid. I don't think I appreciated before just how much there is to draw in London. I mean, there's only so many trees and wooden buildings to draw in Davis and Sacramento.

petescully / Website (1.6.07 16:24) cheers! the cheese guy had truly great cheeses. and the globe, well i wish i'd had a camera with me at that point, the way the sun was coming in upon all the different colours beneath the bridge was spectacular, my scribble (made amid a large crowd of cheese-shoppers) does it no justice at all. |
