Wren's City Churches: St Anne and St Agnes
Interesting building: an odd collection of diverse boxes and gables. But difficult to get a good angle on this, as it’s hemmed in by trees and tall buildings; will come again in winter!

Urban sketching: St Martin’s Place
23 July 2016
St Martin’s Place, from the steps of St Martin’s church. Spent too long looking for a place out of the sun, and had to hurry the painting stage: which is why it’s in black and white.

Polesden Lacey: Peony Border
Back in the main gardens, there’s the peony border. The peonies have been and gone, but there’s another bench in the shade.
Box Hill: Panorama
Box Hill used to be known for its appearance in Jane Austen’s Emma; now it’s famous for being a Pokestop: it was swarming with people staring at smartphones.

Away from the crowds admiring the beautiful formal gardens, there’s a greenhouse, some gardener’s clutter... and a bench in the shade.

Five minutes
16 July 2016
Five minute drawings. Some ink, some ink with ink washes. Actually, the ones with ink washes took about eight minutes. Each about 21 x 14cm.
St Pauls from Christ Church Greyfriars
02 July 2016
The church of Christ Church Greyfriars was bombed in WWII; only the west wall and tower remain. The nave is now a garden; the wooden towers mark the original pillars. A much bigger drawing than my usual Moleskine size, which took three hours.
