The Monument

'The Monument' - City of London, built (between 1671 and 1677) to commemorate the Great Fire of London and to celebrate the rebuilding of the City.

Trying out new landscape pad, in vertical position.  Scale all wrong - top and bottom cut off.

City view

I sat in this position to draw 'The Monument' which did not turn out well, as I got the scale all wrong and it didn't fit on the page. Turned slightly to the right and drew this view which isn't so bad.
View towards the Gherkin from the top of King William Street. City of London.

People needed!

 
My sketches lack people - practising drawing people at the British Museum.

The Sculpture Show

 

I visited Edinburgh recently.  I really enjoyed 'The Sculpture Show' exhibition which is on at the moment at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.  It rained most of the time.
