A Few weeks ago I was lucky to be
invited to join a group of artists to sketch from the comfort of an office on
the 32nd floor in Moorgate. It was amazing experience to gradually see London
light up as the sky darkened. The views were incredible. The iconic
curved dome of St Paul's Cathedral caught my eye, standing out in contrast to the numerous
gridded lines
surrounding it. There was so much going on that I thought the only way I could
capture this was through mark making, layering and pattern. The second drawing is the
view of Finsbury Square, which you can get a brief glimpse of in the bottom
corner with the Gherkin peeking through in the background. I tried to capture
the density of the scene. It was great to see everyone’s impression of a
challenging view. Thanks to James and Carlos for arranging such a great afternoon.
