URBAN SKETCHES IN LONDON - SUMMER 2015

AN UPDATE TO MY SKETCHBOOK IMAGES - MOSTLY WATERCOLOUR WITH CRAYON AND INK ON WHITE CARTRIDGE PAPER

London parks, people and something else beginning with a P? Can't think of anything, anyway, here are the sketches. Hope to add some more, done in autumn 2015 in London.

Wimbledon Tennis, Men's Singles watched on the big screen

In the middle of Wimbledon Town, not far from the famous Wimbledon  LawnTennis Club, the local people could this year watch the play on a big screen, erected in the centre of town, outside Morrisons and the Odeon cinema. A few deckchairs were provided.

The Merton Allotments and Gardens Society annual flower show,  on the allotment site in August

The Annual Flower and Produce show at my allotment association, known as MAGA, this year attracted a lot of entries, the vegetables in particular were excellent. My vase of garden flowers did not win anything this year, neither did the tomatoes.

Regents Park, childrens pond with pedaloes and geese.

Regents Park, gates with GR and royal coat of arms

Lakeside cafe, Regents Park, with pigeons

I went on another 'Sketch Crawl' with the group 'Drawing London on Location'.  This time we met near Baker Street Station and walked to Regent's Park where we split up and drew different parts of the lovely Royal Park.  Here is my sketch of the children's boating lake, with yellow pedaloes and geese. The second sketch is of the ornate gates with gilding. Roses are here too.
The third sketch is of the cafe by the bigger lake has a pretty little clock tower on the roof, ornamented with pigeons.
