| The Chiltern Firehouse by Nicky Browne |
In most
areas of London there
are Victorian buildings, which are often extraordinary decorative confections. Town
Halls, churches, mansion blocks and many Victorian streets with carefully
detailed brickwork, gables and finials.
As we are still unable to meet up as
a group, the challenge for August is to find inspiration from Victorian
architecture in your own part of London. You might want to choose to draw a
whole building or maybe draw a series of details across a sketchbook spread. Maybe
you can attach a bit of the history and storytelling also?

| London Bridge Hospital by Sasala Wickramasinghe |
The day has a Victorian theme which
suggests sketching something with extravagant and interesting details - but
don’t restrict yourself to this era only! A stunner - a coup de theatre of a
building anywhere!
There will be a group throwdown at 3pm Saturday
on Facebook. Of course, if you are unable to join in on the day, please still
share your drawings on social media or Facebook later, using the hashtags
#urbansketchers and #usklondon.
Hope you will join in and please
remember to stay safe and follow the current government guidelines wherever you
are drawing.
