WINTER SKETCHES IN LONDON WITH URBAN SKETCHERS

SKETCHING IN WINTER IS A BIT NIPPY, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT QUICK!

The Urban Sketchers London Group met near the National Gallery to sketch, just before Christmas 2015.  

There is always a large Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square, given by Norway to the British people as a thank you.  
The plaque ate the bottom of the tree reads: This tree is given by the city of Oslo as a token of Norwegian gratitude to the people of London for their assistance during the years 1940-1945

Here is my first sketch done in Trafalgar Square. I used watercolour and pen. The second one is done from the cafe inside the National Gallery.  
I used pencil for this one.
