Sketching people on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral 2nd August 10am 16" x 11", pen and sepia ink in Moleskine sketchbook copyright Katherine Tyrrell |
It's a good place for sketchers to meet. You have views down Ludgate Hill (see Sitting on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral in the sun) - and a big covered area should it start to rain!
Plus if you like sketching people - or just need the practice - there's lots of opportunities to sketch people who have stopped to sit awhile on the steps at the front of the cathedral.
As I did. It's a great perspective for sketching the backs of people and trying to capture posture and character - and what the back of a head looks like!
wonderful sketches--we were in London and on those steps last fall and it is almost as if you saw the same people ;-)
ReplyDeletelovely sketches - you've caught attitudes and interactions really well :>)
ReplyDeleteGreat sketches. I normally only do individuals and not groups, but think I will follow your example at the next opportunity.
