Still, we're an hour behind the rest of Europe here in London so just time before it ends, to post my own good night and thank you to you Tioka, Kirsten and all!
So great to watch and let subjects come to you. I loved Kirsten's zen quote about that. And Angela's poems and the drawings from Greece...I hope to see something of what others did in Norwich and Britanny and all - tomorrow maybe?
Meanwhile around 3 pm the sun came out as Anne-Marie and I looked over the Thames to St Paul's Cathedral (half concealed by riverside offices) alongside the Millenium bridge. Just a quick sketch as we were running late. No time to give a glimpse of people along the bridge which would have been a nice counterpoint to Tioka's Paris photo...
We hurried past Shakespeare's Globe, the Cutty Sark and the Clink (so much to draw and not just the monuments! ) to join Heather Kilgour at Southwark Cathedral. Inside the oldest cathedral church in London, a free piano recital had just started. What luck! Almost an hour drawing to Beethoven, Chopin and Brahms...I love sketching to music - there's a particular intensity when you know you aren't the only one hoping your eye, brain and fingers get it right...I dropped a few apostles out of the altar screen carvings but you get the gist.
I used my Iphone to snap photos of these drawings...And now it's dark, it won't take a readable photo of my last drawing of the Barbican. More tomorrow perhaps?
But I'm curious to see others work before that!
Bridget
Nice drawings! This is so fun to see everybody's input from around the world. I like what you said when you weren't the only one hoping the eye, hand etc were working together!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Bridget, very glad to see we weren't the only ones taking on the ecclesiastical challenge. I love the interior drawing, spot on observation, my scribbly renderings put to shame. Those gothic arches appear easy when you start, but boy can they get complicated when you're in a hurry! In the end I gave up and scribbled. You however have every line in place and not a stray line in sight. lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow, Bridget. Beautiful drawings. Looks like you were serenaded while you sketched-- lucky you.
ReplyDeleteYour eye, brain and fingers did get it right (as they always do)!
