"I produced this drawing of Covent Garden during the Urban Sketching London 10 year Anniversary event in July 2022," says Emma Fitzpatrick.
"It was done from the balcony restaurent of the Royal Opera House surrounded by keen sketchers of all levels of skill who had travelled from all around the UK and Europe to be there. It was a wonderful opportunity to paint and draw London within the safe feeling created within this group.
The scale of buildings and energy of London was very inspiring plus the access to higher level viewing platforms, off from ground level, has opened up new opportunities for me with my urban painting. I decided to draw onto watercolour paper rather than cartridge for extra texture which is new for me. I am keen to go back and do more of this."
