Drawing London
Home
The ‘Drawing London’ Group seeks to explore London and its environs in an imaginative way, discovering through the tools of pencil, chalk and brush, familiar and lesser known places in London. Every 18 months or so, we exhibit our works, in pencil, charcoal, paint and print. There are around 15 of us in the group and we meet to draw inside and out throughout the year aiming to capture and express the atmosphere, excitement, lights, shadows, colours and tones of London and its people.
About the Drawing London group
Our last meeting was on Friday 28th May 2010, at Smithfield Market.
Our exhibition “Drawing London 2010” is at the Brokers Wine Bar until 14th June. This exhibition aims to capture the story of London as it is written in the streets that we all inhabit and enjoy today. Click on the image on the left to see a page about this exhibition.
