Eight artists presented themselves at Marylebone Station on rather a raw grey day. One person took cover in the underground, the remainder mainly concentrated on the Victorian ironwork in the roof of the main station. As the mainline station is small, we all found that we were including similar features. Unfortunately it was too dreary to work outside and tackle the glass canopy and exterior of the station. As usual, there were a great many passengers hovering about and much activity.
Our sketching trips quite often involve something totally unexpected, and this time one of our artists who lives close by advised us to have lunch in the Rudolph Steiner House. So we navigated our way to London's first and only Expressionist building (similar to but not the same as Art Nouveau architecture) and had lunch there. We spent lunch discussing the Rudolph Steiner approach to education and architecture, very interesting.
We have decided that December is too busy a time for a sketch date, so we will arrange two for January.
Meanwhile, please enjoy looking at our Marylebone results.
