Sketchcrawl - Old Spitalfields Market

Staedtler Pigment Liners, Tombow Brushpen and
Neocolour II Wax Pastels in 7.5" x 7.5" Handmade Sketchbook

Urban Sketchers London Sketchcrawl at Old Spitalfields Market today. My friend, Ella, came with me; it was her first one and we had a great day. It was warm and dry and there were plenty places to sit, eat and sketch. It was such an interesting venue; thank you USK London organisers.

I didn't have time to do the art deco building in the distance but will another time; it's beautiful.

Almost finished my sketch

Lunchtime and end of day comparisons

So many interesting places to sketch

Impressive view

Schmincke and Unison Soft Pastels plus Charcoal

on Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper, 9.5" x 12"

The image below (minus the ghostly charcoal leaves and flower in the centre) is how it looked when I left the Pastel Society. However, I felt it needed something to unify the two plants so added more leaves and a central flower.

There were six pears but I ate one! Thank you, Rach!  Don't you love it when you meet with a friend and you end up doing some art together? Have a great weekend, everyone!
