St Pancras Church House, London, 2 July 2026

My second session with London Drawing during this week was Thursday evening at St Pancras Church House, near Euston Station. As on Tuesday in Covent Garden we expected a relatively low number of artists attending, but whereas on Tuesday we were blown away when forty turned-up, on this occasion our expectations were met.

That’s OK. I suspect if we had been told in advance the total number of artists for the two sessions we would have been quite content. As it was, the lopsidedness felt a bit weird. The show goes on regardless, however, and in this instance the more intimate scale afforded positivity of a different kind. Artists had room to move in closer.

My job and that of London Drawing organiser Anne remained the same. Anne offered guidance and suggested challenges, whilst I made poses appropriate to each task. In Covent Garden the suggestion was continuous line; with dominant and non-dominant hands. Here it was cropping. As ever, most artists simply adapted as they pleased…

…and as ever, if they are pleased then I am pleased.
