Not my finest hour but one of the more enjoyable sketching days.
The new Tate Modern extension is stunning and transforms the whole complex.
London Urban Sketchers met at Tate Modern - over 80 of us, some from as far away as Manchester. They are a great group of diverse styles, professions, ages and abilities which makes the mid and end of session 'Show and Tells' hugely interesting. I attempted the view of the City skyline...which proved exceptionally difficult. Although I found an indoor spot it was by a constantly opening door so not warm or comfortable. However the contrast of towers from the iconic Barbican of yesteryear to current contemporary offices dwarfing Wren and his contemporaries' city spires with St Paul's dominating them and The Millennium Bridge all was too good to miss.
