3 Rickshaws Covent Garden |
I have known Covent Garden since 1999 when I first came back to London after 19 years of being away from the place. It was first place I attended an interview to be a School Representative of African Arts Centre which used to be at Covent Garden and still has a new location but different from where I attended the interview.
I sketched this place with Liz Steel when she visited London about 2 years ago, and ever since then I’ve always wanted to go back and sketch there.
It’s such a busy place, with people of all works of life moving up and down, its crazy! There is a certain buzz to the place.
So I went out to capture a bit of that buzz and liveliness!
I sat down on the floor to do the sketch below, as I sketched from a more relaxed view at Mark & Spencers for the Sketch above.
I’ve know Covent for years but sketching it made me appreciate it even more.
