Vauxhall - Victoria Line

003 210 x 148mm Watercolour and Ink - £50
Station: 003/270
Date: 13/10/2018 
Travelling Companions: Nick Richards and Minnie the Dog

The Victoria line is a relatively recent addition to the tube network, being completed in 1972.

The silver ski ramp entrance must be much more recent though. I can't draw things like that. It relies on a steady hand and nerve. I relegate it to the background and draw the much more wobbly brick entrance across the road.

Minnie is getting a little tired and finally curls up at my feet.

My painting water is dirty but someone has left a bottle of water on the wall by the subway. You can see it in the drawing.

Nick has gone to draw Battersea Power Station. They've replaced the chimneys and covering the bottom, so, you know, what's the point?

The tube network only just dangles over South London. We will cross the river now.
