I met up with the Topolski residents outside Brixton tube station and moved on to the markets. Fantastic weather, cold but very clear. Drawing commenced inside and out.  A fantastic multicultural visual, aural sensory overload  made drawing a real pleasure. If you've not been its a great experience. Market regulars are used to students from Camberwell and the Princes  drawing school regularly drawing them, although some market stall holders were quite reluctant to be depicted directly.

Following this we drew at Borough market, a complete contrast, architecturally, culturally and economically. The Market has been gentrified and unfortunately we arrived after most of the days action. We had an impromptu crit in a local pub to warm up . Some  great drawings from the residents especially from Brixton market.
