Quite possibly my most elaborate painting yet! I’ve completed Sketching London… I’ve always liked multiple sketches on a page and wanted to achieve the same effect with this painting.

This Week’s Work in Progress is one I’ve been planning for a while, A montage of London Sketches of Iconic Architecture. After Global village I’ve had so many requests to do one of London. So here it is… I love the sketchy feel so far. I wonder how it will turn out?
