I stood on the corner of Gerrard St and Wardour St to sketch this, out of harm's way, I thought. Soon, 3 gazebos were crammed between the building I was stood next to and the barrier gate to Gerard Street that I was leaning on, blocking my view and forcing me to beat hasty retreat. The street was transforming into a number of pop-up restaurants and soon filling up with delivery vans and tourists. Happily, I managed to get the bare bones to the sketch down before all this happened, and I was able to complete the ink line drawing from a slightly different viewpoint. Gerrard St is a very busy place, and it was fun to observe the rapid transformation. Weather sunny and warm.

An experiment, urbansketching on site with A2 paper which is really too big to be practical but I thought might resolve some of my shortcomings. The little park behind St Mary's church islington, drinking fountain (popular with dogs) park keepers hut and gates to Dagmar Terrace. Threw every pen at this, indigraph, watercolour acrylic markers, everything in the bag. Learnt a lot, will experiment further. #indigraph #indigraphpen #stmarysislington #urbansketchers #usk #urbansketcherslondon

A few weeks ago @urbansketcherslondon did a Sketchwalk in Hampstead, but I wasn't able to make it along on rhe day, so on Sunday me and @sala_s.i went to Hampstead and did our own Sketchwalk. I decided to draw this triangular-shaped house that was on a corner junction. There were a LOT of cars parked along the road, which I didn't particularly want to draw, do I decided to focus on the building itself, rather than drawing the whole scene. #urbansketcherslondon #urbansketching #london #sketchbook #sketchbookdrawing #zebrafudebrushpen #ecolinebrushpens #crayolasupertips #art #drawing #art #hampstead

An outdoor sketch of buildings in Church Road to the rear of a Pub, Bar and charity furniture shop in Bromley. Not significant in any way, just something to draw.

Drawing @lockhatters felt a bit like finding the holy grail as it is London's oldest shop! Founded in 1676, soon 350 years, still run by descendants of the same family👏🏼🤩👏🏼🤩👏🏼 Apparently also the oldest har shop in the world. On a practical level it was a bit more challenging as St. James street has a constant stream of slow traffic and even worse, big delivery vans parking in front of the shop and covering it up🫤 I actually went there twice to get a proper drawing, but the second time was no better than the first. I ended up sitting on the street drawing from photos I'd just taken😅 On a positive note, not being able to see the shop allowed me to take more liberties so included some people from the past in front of the present day display. It is something about this clashing of the past and the present that draws me so to these places so its fun to play with that visually too🎩 Thanks again and a lot to @norskillustrasjonsfond for making this dream trip possible🙏🏼👌🏼 #oldshops #oldshopsinlondon #lockhatters #drawing #urbansketcherslondon #observationalillustration #pleinair #oldlondon #hatshops #dreamproject #mysketchbook #mymoleskine #personalproject

Mr Stevens in “Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro said the greatness of English landscape is… “the very lack of obvious drama or spectacle. What is pertinent is the calmness of that beauty, its sense of restraint. It is as though the land knows of its own beauty, of its own greatness, and feels no need to shout it.” Me: wow how beautifully written. Key word is “restraint” Also me: BUT I LIKE YELLOW!!!!! 🌝🟡☀️ The cadmium yellow really shine when I got out from the shade 😮 - P.S. My noise cancellation earbuds were out of battery, which allowed me to meet @kobraartdesign who basically go all the places I go (Usk London, Portrait club) but we somehow never met. 8x10”, Oil on paper Gear: Paint @mhpaints @gamblincolors | Brushes @rosemarybrushes | Pochade box @newwaveart u.go . . . . . . . #pleinairpainting #londonpleinair #urbansketcherslondon #urbansketchers #landscapesketch #landscapeoilpainting #londonnature #usklondon

Throw back to the evening when I ‘discovered’ a long stretch of quiet beautiful nature not too far from my usual habitat. In fact, I don’t have to cycle for a minute on non-cycle lane to get there. Not just a park but proper nature. Not even with boathouses. But somehow I’ve completely ‘missed’ it all these years. I guess mainly it’s because how bumpy the gravel road was? 5x7”.

I will need to return to this building as I haven't done it justice. It is the The Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in London, it's been that since the 1960s but before that it was the Congregational King's Weigh House Church designed by Alfred Waterhouse in 1891, his most famous building is the Natural History Museum in London. Built in a Romanesque style it's really special but I've managed to make it look flat and uninteresting, tried forcing the perspective on the road to bring some drama but to no avail, sorry church, I'll try again later. #indigraph #indigraphpen #derwentinktense #ukrainianchurchlondon #urbansketcherslondon

A Skip. 5x7” oil on paper. I didn’t have a post for it because I thought it was just such a random subject matter. It was random because I just wanted to test the watermixable oil travel gear - how far can I walk with it and how enjoyable it is to paint with it? (Not too far, so I drastically simplified to just the plastic box) But I’ve grown fond of this little piece of trash (literally) . . . . . . . . #urbansketcherslondon #urbansketchers #usklondon #watermixableoils #cobrawatermixableoilcolour #oilsketch #pleinairsketching #pleinairstudy #pleinapril #cobraoilpaint

This is the incredibly charming and beautiful Italian café @pelliccicafe in Bethnal Green Road! Had I lived in London would I have gone there all the time to soak up the atmosphere, eat the food and of course draw it😍 The café has been there since 1900, its still run by the same family and the impressive wood carvings that decorate it are from 1946👏🏼🤩😍. #pelliccicafe #oldbusinesses #drawinginlondon #urbansketcherslondon #mysketchbook #mymoleskine #norskillustrasjonsfond #personalproject #urbansketchers #walktosee #observationalillustration #observationaldrawing #observationalpainting

Oil sketches on paper in @barbicancentre Compared the to Northern Light that I slept through, I felt more FOMO to the sunny London days, which I missed the entire week due to poor health. I forced myself to go out and I did not regret it. I painted from afar (social distancing 🤧) where the @opendrawing.ldn portrait club was going on. Gear: Paint @mhpaints @gamblincolors | Brushes @rosemarybrushes | Pochade box @newwaveart u.go - P.S. I ‘read’ more books in the last 4 months than my entire lifetime because I started listening to audiobooks (for free, legally!) while painting. I will share the books that accompanied me 📚📕: The Remains of the Day - Kazuo Ishiguo.

I was so pleased when I realised the @libertylondon building is exactly 100 yeast this year, as the brief for my ongoing drawing project is to draw businesses that have been in the same building for 100 years or more. This building always attracted me but I didnt't realise just how massive it is until I tried to draw it!! I was realistic enough to only try to capture half, but even that quickly grew out of the sketchbook🙃 One great think about drawing is how it makes you notice much more than when you just look, I'd never previously noticed the chimneys on top of this massive structure before. The five next to each other all have different beautiful brick patterns on them. Such details😍👌🏼 #liberty #drawinglondon #urbansketcherslondon #mysketchbook #observationalillustration #observationalpainting #illustration #drawyourpassion #norskillustrasjonsfond #businessesthathavebeeninthesamebuildingfor100yearsormore

I find the only trouble with outdoor sketching in  Covent Garden is finding a place where your view will not be blocked by delivery vans, walking tour groups, and street entertainment audiences. So I challenged myself to find somewhere to sit that avoided these pitfalls, and I found a place that was sandwiched between bollards and barriers. A box seat with a box of flowers on the top looked ideal. What could go wrong? Within 5 minutes, a street cleaner parked his barrow in front of me to go off to get a cup of tea. This was followed by the flower waterer asking me to move twice so that he could water the flowers on my seat in two visits. Then I realised that I was by a rubbish bin which, in Westminster, incorporates a cigarette extinguisher and a convenient place to lean for smokers, of which there were plenty. Mostly construction workers taking a break from refurbishing the interior of the property I sat next to. Still, I managed to produce these two sketches within an hour, which I painted later.

Newington Green. I’ve been meaning to draw my neighbourhood for the past few years. The north-eastern corner of the Green has been slightly truncated to include more trees into the composition. The building on the left is Newington Green Unitarian Church, which was founded in the 18th century by English Dissenters and where Mary Wollstonecraft was a regular. The writer is celebrated by a stencil on the side of the church and a statue in the middle of the Green that has drawn mixed reactions from the public. Newington Green. J’avais l’intention de dessiner mon quartier depuis quelques années. Le coin nord-est du square a été légèrement tronquée pour inclure davantage d’arbres dans la composition. Le bâtiment de gauche est le Newington Green Unitarian Church, fondée au XVIIIe siècle par des dissidents anglais et où Mary Wollstonecraft était une habituée. L’écrivaine, considérée comme une pionnière du féminisme, est célébrée par un pochoir sur le côté de l’église et une statue au milieu du square qui a suscité des réactions mitigées de la part du public. #urbansketcherslondon

Lovely evening yesterday. I went up @chimneylift109 to draw in an evening organised with @londonfineartstudios. As you will have noticed landscapes isn’t something I do and 45 minutes isn’t long to capture such an amazing view (& on a beautiful day too!). I made the mistake of having 2 attempts. The white and green version was my warm up…. They’re running a few more evenings in May and the price includes a glass of real champagne 🥂 I thoroughly recommended it if you’re able to go #batterseapowerstation #lift109experience #landscapesketch #usklondon #urbansketcherslondon #urbansketchers
