The Wellington - Strand
Pen and Pencil on Orange Paper
National Portrait Gallery
Graphite and Coloured Pencil on Pastel Paper
I really enjoyed this exercise and drawing townscapes in general,
it is not a subject that I have previously explored all that widely until now. I
ended up completing several pieces for this particular exercise, partly because
I was having fun with it but I also had an afternoon to waste in London after
visiting the Picasso exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery.
I have found sketching the London architecture is great fun
anyway, with all different styles juxtaposed together in such close proximity
but producing drawings with a limited palette meant a challenge and generated
some interesting results. I really like the piece I did of the Wellington in
the Strand; its elongated architecture suited a portrait configuration very
satisfyingly.
