Yesterday I joined the
London Urban Sketchers for the first time. We were to meet on the steps of
St Paul's Cathedral at 11 o'clock but I was late and so after catching up with the organiser,
Katherine Tyrrell, I headed down to the river and sketched the view across the Thames to the Tate Modern.

We all met up again on the
roof terrace of One New Change to sketch the fabulous views and pose for a group photo. We also gathered all our sketches from the morning together. It was great to see
everyone's different styles.

We met up for a final time in
Paternoster Square for another group photo (including a photo bomber, far right!) and another look at everyone's sketches. After saying our goodbyes a few of us repaired to a nearby coffee shop to compare the contents of our sketch kits!

All in all I had a fantastic day and I can't wait to do it again next month when we are going to
Kew Gardens on the 16th of May! Details of future London events can be found
here.
Thanks so much to Katherine Tyrrell for organising the event. It was great fun and I made some new friends! Urban Sketchers London post about the event is
