Behind the scenes at the studio and latest news

Behind the scenes : London From Above

13/3/2019

 
Picture: London from Above Print


London From Above is a little different from my other prints.  As suggested from the title, this print captures the city from a new perspective; 1000 feet in the air. I made all the drawings for this piece from the viewing gallery at the top of the Shard, (currently) Europe's talest building.

It took about 12 visits to complete the initial pencil drawings, sitting, standing and sketching at the windows. Sometimes using my mini binoculars to see the details of the tiny buildings far below.

Whilst I was drawing I met a lot of people who were visiting the shard and enjoying the amazing view mix of London architecture that I love.

The artwork began with a pencil sketch and then adding the details by hand in pen, then adding a a splash of colour by screen-printing some elements directly on to the drawing. This included the reflection of the shard in the walkie- Talkie, the Gherkin and a highlight of yellow on the Monument.
