In London with the London Urban Sketchers on a MIserable Saturday

London Urban sketchers organised a meet up in the Wallace Collection yesterday.  A perfect place to spend a very wet day.  https://www.wallacecollection.org/     The house has a warren of rooms full of a large and eclectic collection.  The armoury is particularly interesting.  It was hard to do the place justice as only dry media was allowed.  Each room was decorated in a vibrant colour and it would have been great to be able to have used my water colours.  Still using different media pushes you out of your comfort zone and many in the large group that went commented the same.  Just behind the museum is St James' church on George Street which offered another dry and warm opportunity to sketch. 
Photos of the sketchers group were taken by Sasala Wickramasinghe of the London Urban Sketchers group.

I have been incredibly lazy!

Have done very little sketching since I went out with Chalk_Collective in November.  It was nice to meet up again this week.   The grey and windy weather is not conducive to getting out and about.
