Covent Garden sketchcrawl, London

On Sunday, London’s Urban Sketchers met for a sketchcrawl around Covent Garden, meeting at Timberyard, a new cafe on Upper St Martin’s Lane (above) that is hosting a show of work by five of our artists’ for a few months: Adebanji Alade, Nathan Brenville, Olha Prymmak, Evelyn Rowland and Lis Watkins. Pay it a visit, if you can. We filled the place with sketchers — our thanks to Darren, who invited us to show there — before heading out to draw Neal’s Yard (below), a courtyard of health food shops and the former offices of the Monty Python comedy team.

Things wound up by the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square. You can see some more images and photographs by Nathan at www.urbansketchers-london.blogspot.co.uk. It was a fantastic day and great to see new faces in among the familiar ones.
