Sketching at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park 
Tuesday 7th August

It was a very hot day - tempting to stand under the children's fountains ti year my mind!

Janet K positioned herself on a deck, in the shade looking across to Zaha Hadid's  Swimming Pool.
Here's her sketch:


Carole found an empty deckchair to sketch:



Judith did a plant study on dark Ingres paper using white fine line & black infill.



Then a striking study of the weathervanes along the river path.




 














I found a shady bench near the 'Orbit' and decided on a partial view of the structure.
The strong shadows 'drew' my attention - but unfortunately, after 30 minutes, they had all subtly changed. After an hour all were transformed! Alas, l had no rubber to make amends.
Here's the result of chasing the shadows!
