Hi all,
I couldn't meet up with the gang on Regents Canal, so I decided to take a bike trip around my neigbourhood, Kingston Upon Thames and Richmond and make some drawings here. The weather was quite nice, the sun was even too hot at times!
Here's Kingston town center in magenta and blue:


That's Richmond bridge, a view from the Southern bank of the Thames:


And this one is from Richmond park:


Looking forward to see what fellow sketch-crawlers did in the other London locations!

Cheers,
Zhenia

Lovely watercolurs Zhenia

Excellent sketches! It´s always a pleasure seing your fresh and alive watercolours

Hi all,
Sorry you could'nt meet us Zhenia .Funny thing is i live round your way and recognize where you sketched.
Four of us met up by Camden Lock and it was excellent. The weather was way better than i thought it would be.

i started with a sketch by the lock

while we were having lunch this guy came up and started telling jokes for money. he was moving his body all the time. I tried to capture it from memory.




We walked along the canal and ended up at the amazing Camley Street Natural Park, a real sanctuary within earshot of St Pancras station .
Another great sketchcrawl .
cheers everyone.

Hi Neil-W,
thank you for your wonderful report from the lock and the canal! Great sktches. That's a pity we didn't get together this time, I will aim to meet up next time, sure!

Thank you for comments, travelingsuep and Enrique!

Great results, congratulations.

Nice sketches. Like the first one, has a nice composition and colours.

The first three are fantastic, so fluent, carefree and confident!

Zhenia, I simply love your sketches, your colors and your line work are amazing.
Neil-w, love the children on the dock, you managed to capture such a nice moment.

I'm delighted by the wonderful colours of these sketches!

Great sketches, Neil and Zhenia. Zhenia, your sketches remind me of some of the best classic children's book illustrations. Really lovely!

Here are mine:

Fantastic Tom ,really like the way you captured those crazy geese .they seemed to erupt into fights every few mins. also the children doing the pond dip these are really well observed and delicately drawn reminicent of E H Shepard's work . Also kudos for suggesting the camley st natural park,brilliant choice.
Zzhenia i didn't mention how much i liked your sketches the economy of knowing just what to include makes your work amazing to look at. It seems effortless.

zzhenia - Excellent watercolor works as usual!
Neil-W - What a lovely geese!
Tom D - Gorgeous line drawings! Love your geese series a lot.

Great stuff London! Nice to see sketches of children.
Amazing style ZZhenia, very fresh!
