Two drawings for the Article 25 "10 x 10" 2012 drawing auction. This year my square is in Northern Soho, an area apparently rich in urban structure and content - actually quite difficult to draw. These two drawings intended to evoke the place, Georgian houses that originally lined the small streets and the late nineteenth century workplace buildings that now dominate. Bright sun, pea green glazed brickwork, roadworks and good cafes.

2011
Two drawings carried out one brisk morning in October for the Article 25 '10 x10' drawing auction 2011. The site is that of Thomas Cromwell's house at Austin Friars but now a typical narrow city street of late nineteenth century buildings and the looming presence of the Nat West Tower beyond.

ReplyDeleteGreat drawings Greg. I wish I had the time to get out and do this. Have you checked out 'urban sketchers'? It is a worldwide network, including one in London that you might be interested to join.... Good Luck with it all. Andy.
