We had a wonderful sunny day.  Pete did a count-up from the attendance sheets too around nigh 50 people signed the sheets too to a greater extent than people came for but usage of the day.  There were some amazing sketches too lots of multifariousness inwards the sketching nosotros saw although, rather oddly, real much less watercolour sketching than I think occurs elsewhere.  That said nosotros had rather a lot of architecture inwards Fleet Street too the Temple to bargain with!

  • I didn't quite sympathise the rationale behind the focus of this review "Britain's Greatest Artist" Abandons Photography of Hockney's exhibition "David Hockney, a Bigger Picture" at the the Guggenheim inwards Bilbao until September 30, 2012 - fifty-fifty if it is written past times the Onwer/Editor of Outdoor Painting. Hockney has been plein air landscape prototype for quite some years but this is mentioned inwards passing whereas the article places to a greater extent than emphasis on 1 aspect of Hockney's career from quite some fourth dimension ago.  In particular, the comment nigh his drawing perplexes me.  Hockney won a prize for his drawing piece at the RCA too was mostly regarded equally an outstanding student!  Anybody who has truly seen the charcoal too iPad drawings inwards this exhibition would hold upward inwards no uncertainty of this.  For a to a greater extent than upward to appointment perspective on Hockney take in the other recent articles nigh this exhibition David Hockney RA: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Bigger Picture on my website About David Hockney - British Artist
