I've never been to London, but if you had not titled this, I think I could have identified it from pictures I have seen.<br /><br />I came across your site quite by accident. I was looking for information on Monet's series paintings. I have just looked around a little, but am quite taken with your sketches. Thank you so much for sharing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430872985988041256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-15537621708085035132010-06-07T19:13:22.309+00:002010-06-07T19:13:22.309+00:00I knew you'd love the Chris Beetles exhibition...I knew you'd love the Chris Beetles exhibition Robyn!<br />(See http://makingamark.blogspot.com/2010/06/6th-june-2010-whos-made-mark-this-week.html)Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-17415729344614854962010-06-07T19:12:05.112+00:002010-06-07T19:12:05.112+00:00Many thanks Don.

It was unforgettable seeing it with you that year IRL but the on-line catalogue is stunning. How wonderful it will be when more galleries discover how this enhances their profile and marketing.<br /><br />I'm so ignorant. I didn't know Edward Lear was a painter as well as the poet my daughter and I shared with such pleasure.<br /><br />And that's an extremely impressive BIG sketch, Katherine. How nice to know that even you get the jitters and draw on 'less than your best' paper :)Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-18092173881976622322010-06-07T06:36:57.444+00:002010-06-07T06:36:57.444+00:00I'd taken two sheets of Arches HP with me whic...I'd taken two sheets of Arches HP with me which is hard sized and the colours sit on top and don't sink in<br /><br />However I had one of those - "the paper is too good for the mess I'm going to make of this" moments!<br /><br />I'll go back having drawn marks in advance for where most of the landmarks are to give myself a fighting chance! <br /><br />I just had no idea where this was going to start and finish - but it didn't matter because it was only a study and only on cartridge paper!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-47629641088308236582010-06-07T05:46:18.037+00:002010-06-07T05:46:18.037+00:00I think the colours are lovely against the grey sk...I think the colours are lovely against the grey sky. I found the same difficulty trying to draw from a hotel I stayed in in London with spectacular views - there was so much to take in and sort out, I found it impossible. This is wonderful for saying so much but not being strangled by details! I'm very fond of cartridge paper so I'm curious to know what paper you would have chosen instead to draw this?Felicity Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145205761346733464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-25483923822999048282010-06-05T15:15:39.948+00:002010-06-05T15:15:39.948+00:00Very nice sketch and wonderful of you to share the...Very nice sketch and wonderful of you to share the memories."JeanneG"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16398758813763335651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-85801533760755438902010-06-05T12:16:32.303+00:002010-06-05T12:16:32.303+00:00To get a panoramic top view is not an easy joke,( ...To get a panoramic top view is not an easy joke,( I am struggling to do one just now:-)) you have done a great job with the perspective.
