Happy St. George’s Day


We’ve been celebrating St.George’s Day today at work. Bloody Mary’s (perhaps only because they’re blood-red) with sausage or bacon sarnies (very English). We even had a knighting ceremony of the most gallant male in the company. This chap was standing stock still in the warm sun outside The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, as in like a sculpture, so made for a perfect model! White and sepia Cretacolour leads (which are very pastel-like) on black paper sketchbook.
